Relationship of adiponectin and its multimers to metabolic indices in cats during weight change

This study uses a novel method of size exclusion gel chromatography combined with ELISA to measure HMW feline adiponectin and determine its relationship to leptin, cholesterol, and insulin sensitivity as cats gain and lose weight. In addition, total adiponectin and its mRNA expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue was measured.
