TI  - Serum adiponectin levels in diabetes, obesity and gender in Punjabi subjects from 
      Faisalabad, Pakistan.
PG  - 1186-8
AB  - Adiponectin has been associated with common metabolic disorders. The current 
      study was conducted to measure and compare levels of adiponectin with obesity, 
      type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and gender in Punjabi subjects from Faisalabad, 
      Pakistan. Serum adiponectin was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay 
      (ELISA) along with measurements of some clinically important analytes (fasting 
      blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides) as well as body mass index (BMI) in 80 
      subjects. The main results were significantly (p < 0.003) decreased serum 
      adiponectin level in T2DM patients (n = 40) compared to non-diabetic controls (n 
      = 40). In obese subjects, (n = 40) also, there was a decrease, but it was not 
      significant. Adiponectin levels in the subgroups of diabetic and obese patients 
      were also observed, but no significant gender-based differences were found.
