Abstract
The antidiabetic hormone adiponectin circulates in blood as several oligomeric complexes, and the ratios between them are critical in determining insulin sensitivity. In this study we investigated the role of testosterone in regulating the oligomeric complex distribution of adiponectin. Gel filtration analysis revealed that circulating adiponectin existed as the forms of high molecular weight (HMW), middle molecular weight, and low molecular...
