Adiponectin was significantly and negatively correlated with all measures of insulin resistance, coefficients were r = −0.43 (p = 0.01) with fasting glucose, r = −0.46 (p = 0.004) with fasting insulin, r = −0.34 (p = 0.04) with insulin AUC and r = −0.51 (p = 0.001) with HOMA-IR. The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is Insulin resistance.
