Key result
Plasma adiponectin concentration was negatively correlated with insulin resistance, hCRP, and pulse wave velocity in Japanese men, suggesting a role in lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis.
Cross-Sectional
Adiponectin levels are inversely associated with insulin resistance and markers of atherosclerosis in Japanese men, suggesting a role in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk.

May inform CV risk assessment in Japanese men; leaves open causal role in atherosclerosis.
Higashiura et al. (2004) conducted a cross-sectional in Insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Plasma adiponectin concentration was evaluated on Correlation of adiponectin with insulin resistance (HOMA), hCRP, and PWV. Plasma adiponectin concentration was negatively correlated with insulin resistance, hCRP, and pulse wave velocity in Japanese men, suggesting a role in lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis.
