Adiponectin Testing
Obesity is a result of various behaviors of people that lead to increased risk factors, such as unhealthy eating habits, high-stress lifestyles, sleep deprivation, increased time spent on online media, and other factors that contribute to the rising prevalence of overweight and obesity in current society.
However, there is a hormone called "Adiponectin" released from fat cells that aids in the energy-burning process and maintains the body in the following ways:
- Regulating the metabolic system of glucose
- Promoting insulin balance
- Anti-inflammatory effects on the body
- Anticoagulant effects on blood
- Assisting in cell growth
-
Individuals with obesity and abdominal fat have lower levels of Adiponectin compared to those with normal weight. Moreover, individuals with Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Kidney Disease, and Coronary Artery Disease also have lower Adiponectin levels. Therefore, maintaining an appropriate level of Adiponectin helps control weight and insulin resistance, and reduces the risk of obesity-related conditions.
