Adiponectin levels and expression of adiponectin receptors in isolated monocytes from overweight patients with coronary artery disease

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Adiponectin has insulin-sensitizing and anti-atherosclerotic effects, partly mediated through its action on monocytes. We aimed to determine adiponectin levels and expression of its receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2) in peripheral monoc...
