Omentin-endothelial associations in IGT/NGT may support biomarker exploration; cross-sectional data leave causality and clinical utility open.
Is circulating omentin associated with endothelial function in men with normal or impaired glucose tolerance?
Circulating omentin is independently associated with endothelial function and may serve as a novel biomarker for cardiovascular risk related to obesity and glucose intolerance.
Moreno‐Navarrete et al. (2011) studied this question.
