Correlation of the leptin:adiponectin ratio with measures of insulin resistance in non-diabetic individuals

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Obesity is the dominant cause of insulin resistance. In adult humans it is characterised by a combination of adipocyte hypertrophy and, to a lesser extent, adipocyte hyperplasia. As hypertrophic adipocytes secrete more leptin and less adiponectin, the plasma leptin:adiponectin ratio...
