Table 3 showed that serum levels of adiponectin (μg/ml) were significantly inversely associated with β-cell function (%β) [β (95% CI): -7.57 (-12.33, -2.81)] and insulin resistance (100/%S) [β (95% CI): -0.21 (-0.33, -0.09)] after adjustment for confounders. This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and Insulin resistance.
