Mature Subcutaneous and Visceral Adipocyte Concentrations of Adiponectin Are Highly Correlated in Prepubertal Children and Inversely Related to Body Mass Index Standard Deviation Score

Abstract

These data indicate a relationship between total adiponectin levels in different tissue compartments, suggesting either some form of interaction or coregulation by systemic factors, possibly related to body size/fat mass. Serum concentrations of total adiponectin were inversely related to age but showed no relationship with either tissue levels or body mass index sd score.
