We also observed that corticosterone (Figure 1C), which stimulates gluconeogenesis during hypoglycaemia (Cryer 1993), and adiponectin (Figure 1D), which has been associated with insulin resistance (Yamauchi et al. 2001; Maeda et al. 2002), oscillated significantly, but out of phase with the glucose and triglyceride rhythms. This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and Insulin resistance.
