ADIPOQ and coronary artery disorder: Similar observations were suggested in other studies that suggested that measurement of plasma concentrations of adiponectin may be of use for assessing the risk of CAD and may be related to the development of ACS, and higher plasma adiponectin levels are independently associated with a lower risk of ACS, and the greatest increase in risk for ACS in their study was seen at adiponectin levels <5.5 μg/mL [15, 16].
