OBJECTIVES: Adipose tissue secretes proteins which regulate energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Adiponectin possesses anti-diabetic, anti-atherogenic and insulin-sensitizing properties. To assess the prognostic factors in prolonged survival and the potential protective role of adiponectin in aging, we examined the release of adip.....
