In contrast, serum adiponectin, an insulin-sensitizing adipokine often inversely correlated with adipose inflammation and insulin resistance [14,15], showed a modest elevation in the HPegg white, HPmix, and HPplant groups compared to the NPcasein group, while only the HPplant group showed higher levels than the HPcasein group (Figure 2D). This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and Insulin resistance.
