| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Increased adiposity in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), as well as in patients who do not have DM, affects the regulation of insulin sensitivity and the metabolic effects of adiponectin. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between plasma adiponectin levels and obesity in patients developing DM mainly due to an early decline in ß-cell function. METHODS: We studied 29 patients with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), 38 patients with type 1 DM, and 55 healthy volunteers. RESULTS: Plasma adiponectin levels, adjusted for body mass index (BMI), were higher in patients with type 1 DM than in controls (P < 0.001) and similar to those in patients with LADA (P = 0.464). Plasma adiponectin levels were higher in LADA patients compared with controls (P < 0.001). In LADA patients, plasma adiponectin levels, adjusted for BMI, correlated significantly with insulin resistance (ß coefficient, -6.453 [2.772]; P = 0.028). Interestingly, this relationship in LADA patients was significant in more overweight patients (ß coefficient, -7.142 [3.249]; P = 0.048) but not in leaner patients (P = 0.571), a finding that was not confirmed through the results in the controls (P = 0.520 and P = 0.992, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with LADA, increases in plasma adiponectin levels, after adjustment for BMI, could act as a mediator for improvement in insulin sensitivity and thus compensate for the primary secretory defect. This effect seems more profound in more overweight subjects than in leaner subjects. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
