In addition, adipose tissues are known to secret several adipokines that have an important role in the initiation of insulin resistance [26] or endothelial dysfunction [27], measurement of visceral adipose mass and levels of other adipokines, such as adiponectin or leptin, could help elucidate why these two markers did not predict CAD in our study [28,29]. Here, ADIPOQ is linked to endothelial dysfunction.
