What is Adiponectin Level?

This blood test measures the level of adiponectin, a hormone produced by fat cells that plays a key role in regulating glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown. Healthy levels are associated with better metabolic health and insulin sensitivity.

Why is this test important?

Adiponectin levels are often lower in individuals with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Measuring adiponectin can provide insights into metabolic health and risk for these conditions, aiding in risk assessment and management strategies.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours is typically required before this test. Please consult your doctor for specific instructions.
