Adiponectin

This test measures the level of adiponectin, a hormone produced by fat cells that helps regulate blood sugar and break down fats. It helps show whether you may have insulin resistance, as low levels are often linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. This information assists in evaluating your risk for developing heart disease or metabolic disorders. However, this test cannot diagnose a specific condition by itself and is usually reviewed alongside other laboratory results.
