Implication
Should not guide lipid management; leaves open adiponectin's regulatory role in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.

Outcome
Association of plasma adipocytokine concentrations with markers of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) metabolism (apoB-48, apoC-III, RLP-cholesterol, triglycerides)surrogate
Plasma adiponectin concentration is an independent predictor of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism markers in nondiabetic men, suggesting a direct role in regulating lipid metabolism beyond its link to insulin resistance.
