Circulating Concentrations of the Adipocyte Protein Adiponectin Are Decreased in Parallel With Reduced Insulin Sensitivity During the Progression to Type 2 Diabetes in Rhesus Monkeys

TL;DR: Reduction in circulating adiponectin may be related to the development of insulin resistance in rhesus monkeys, which spontaneously develop obesity and which subsequently frequently progress to overt type 2 diabetes.
