Cardiovascular disease and risk factors in an indigenous minority population. The All-Ireland Traveller Health Study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Adiponectin is viewed as an insulin-sensitizing hormone with anti-inflammatory effects. In accordance, plasma adiponectin is decreased in metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, in spite of the apparently beneficially effects, recent data from large prospective studies have co...
