Letters: observations. Plasma adiponectin concentrations are independently predicted by fat insulin sensitivity in women and by muscle insulin sensitivity in men
Adiponectin is an abundant plasma protein, mainly secreted by adipocytes and closely linked to insulin sensitivity (1-4). Plasma adiponectin independently correlates with insulin sensitivity (5). Since women have greater plasma adiponectin levels than men (5-7), we determined sex-specific difference...
