Concerning the association between the presence of dyslipidemia (high TG or low HDL or both) and adiponectin levels, it was found that the median adiponectin level was 8.3 μg/mL (range, 3.1-16.9 μg/mL) in cases with dyslipidemia, while it was 10.1 μg/mL (range, 2.8-57.9 μg/mL) in those without dyslipidemia. This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and metabolic syndrome.
