ADIPOQ and Insulin resistance: Our previous studies have found differences inleptin and adiponectin levels between male and female students, and theseadipocytokines are related to insulin resistance, while fasting insulin and insulinsensitivity might play important roles in the achievement of critical lipid levels;(Sinaiko et al., 2001;Recasens et al., 2004;Mi et al., 2010).Another reason might be the interaction between genes and environment in males andfemales.
