Adiponectin

Understanding Adiponectin and Its Role in Metabolism

Adiponectin is a key hormone that influences several metabolic functions, especially the regulation of glucose and fatty acid breakdown in the liver and muscles. By supporting these processes, adiponectin indirectly enhances insulin sensitivity and contributes to weight reduction.

Clinical Significance of Adiponectin Blood Testing

Measuring adiponectin levels in the blood provides valuable insight into the body’s metabolic health. This test is particularly useful in the diagnosis and ongoing management of type 2 diabetes, as well as in assessing disorders related to adipose tissue metabolism and lipid catabolism.
