In serum, adiponectin can exist as either full-length form that can form trimers, hexamers and
high molecular weight (HMW) multimers, or as globular adiponectin (gAd). Adiponectin …

Background: Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived specific protein that has
antiinflammatory as well as antiatherosclerotic effects. In the United States, many patients …

BACKGROUND: Adiponectin is an anti-inflammatory adipokine that may play a role in
