Adiponectin concentrations, specifically the HMW isoform, are strongly associated with visceral fat area rather than insulin sensitivity, suggesting insulin resistance may be a consequence of hypoadiponectinaemia in obesity.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Visceral fat may drive HMW adiponectin independently of insulin sensitivity; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Kaser et al. (2008) studied this question.
