Adiponectin expression in visceral adiposity is an important determinant of insulin resistance in morbid obesity.

CONCLUSIONS: In severely obese patients, adiponectin gene expression in VAT is negatively correlated with serum levels of uric acid and is an independent determinant, together with anthropometric parameters of visceral obesity and serum adiponectin levels, of insulin resistance.
