Adiponectin circulate primarily as a multimeric (trimeric,hexameric and high molecular weight) polypeptide and is locally proteolytically cleaved to aglobular (trimeric) form in which the collagen-like amino-terminal domain is released (12).Adiponectin has antidiabetic properties and its circulating concentrations are reduced inpatients with visceral obesity, insulin resistance and T2D (9, 13, 14). The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
