Key result

The high-molecular weight adiponectin ratio (HMWR) was a better predictor of insulin resistance than total adiponectin, with a significantly larger AUC (0.713 vs 0.615; P=0.0160).

Why the study?

Does the HMW adiponectin ratio improve the prediction of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome compared to total adiponectin levels in patients admitted for diabetes treatment or coronary angiography?

Key Points

This research investigates the predictive utility of plasma high-molecular weight adiponectin levels in identifying insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
298 patients were measured for high-molecular weight and total adiponectin levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Receiver operator characteristic curves were used to evaluate the predictive ability of the HMW ratio compared to total adiponectin levels.
The HMW ratio had a significantly larger area under the ROC curve for predicting insulin resistance (0.713 vs. 0.615, P = 0.0160).
In men, the AUC for HMWR predicting metabolic syndrome was 0.806 compared to 0.730 for total adiponectin (P = 0.0025).
In women, the AUC for HMWR predicting metabolic syndrome was 0.743 compared to 0.637 for total adiponectin (P = 0.0458).
