In the same cohort [17], authors did not find any significant changes in serum concentrations of leptin and adiponectin, homeostasis model assessment-adiponectin (HOMA-AD), glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), blood biomarkers of liver and renal function, hematology, serum electrolytes, hs-CRP and plasma TNF-α. Here, ADIPOQ is linked to Insulin resistance.
