ADIPOQ and coronary artery disorder: As shown in Table 3, multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that the presence of CAD was independently associated with EAT adiponectin mRNA levels (beta = −0.49, 95 % CI −0.81 to −0.14; P = 0.006) and serum adiopnectin levels (beta = −0.82, 95 % CI −0.99 to −0.66; P < 0.001).
