Relationship between Adiponectin Level, Insulin Sensitivity, and Metabolic Syndrome in Type 1 Diabetic Patients by Kristina Blaslov, Tomislav Bulum, Karin Zibar, Lea Duvnjak

“…Patients with higher adiponectin level () had significantly lower waist circumference (), fasting venous glucose levels (), higher HDL3-cholesterol (), and eGDR () in comparison to the group with lower adiponectin who showed higher prevalence of MS (). eGDR increased for 1.09 mg/kg−1 min−1 by each increase of 1 µg/mL total fasting plasma adiponectin (). In the logistic regression model, adiponectin was inversely associated with the presence of MS (). …”
