Abstract
- Abstract —Adiponectin is a novel, adipose-specific protein abundantly present in the circulation, and it has antiatherogenic properties. We analyzed the plasma adiponectin concentrations in age- and body mass index (BMI)–matched nondiabetic and type 2 diabetic subjects with and without coronary artery disease (CAD). Plasma levels of adiponectin in the diabetic subjects without CAD were lower than those in nondiabetic subjects (6.6±0.4 versus 7.9±0.5 μg/mL in men, 7.6±0.7 versus 11.7±1.0 μg/mL in women; P P r =−0.18, P r =−0.26, P
