Adiponectin/resistin levels and insulin resistance in children: a four country comparison study
Conclusions:
We conclude that serum adiponectin concentrations are lower in Asian as compared to Italian and American children, and that adiponectin but not resistin contributes to differences in markers for insulin resistance in children from different populations.
