Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Low levels of adiponectin, IGF-binding protein 1 (IGFBP1) and IGFBP2 and high levels of leptin correlate with several indices of insulin resistance and risk of type 2 diabetes. However, in insulin receptoropathies, plasma adiponectin is paradoxically increased despite severe insulin resistance, whereas the IGF axis is sparsely described. Here, we aimed to characterise the multimeric distribution of...
