Additionally, the group with higher plasma adiponectin showed higher eGDR levels indicating higher insulin sensitivity which is in accordance with Pereira et al. (2012) [23] who reported that both total and high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin positively correlate with insulin sensitivity assessed by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp in T1DM patients. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
