Higher circulating omentin is associated with increased risk of primary cardiovascular events in individuals with diabetes

Conclusions/interpretationHigher omentin concentrations are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular events in individuals with diabetes after adjustment for multiple cardiovascular risk factors. Given data from preclinical studies, it appears possible that this association reflects a compensatory, but insufficient upregulation of omentin concentrations as a response to stimuli that increase cardiovascular risk.
