Journal ArticleDOI

Adiponectin Dysregulation and Insulin Resistance in Type 1 Diabetes

TL;DR: Adiponectin levels are positively correlated with insulin sensitivity in T1D patients, however, T2D patients have decreased insulin sensitivity compared with controls at every level of adiponECTin, suggesting an important adaptive change of adip onectin set point.
