Low adipocyte-derived plasma protein adiponectin concentrations are associated with the metabolic syndrome and small dense low-density lipoprotein particles: atherosclerosis and insulin resistance study.

Abstract excerpt

Circulating plasma adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived protein, has been shown to be decreased in obese subjects as well as in patients with type 2 diabetes and also in subjects who do not have diabetes, but are insulin resistant. We assessed the relationship between plasma levels of adiponectin, the metabolic syndrome and the occurrence of small dense LDL particles (pattern B) in 101 clinically healthy middle-aged...
