When the latter analysis was confined to the subgroup of CAD patients, AdipoR2 protein surface levels were also correlated with plasma adiponectin levels (beta ± SE: 110.02 ± 48.89, p = 0.034) and Matsuda index (beta ± SE: 25.603 ± 6.060, p < 0.001) independent of age, gender and waist to hip ratio. Here, ADIPOQ is linked to coronary artery disorder.
