CLIA Adiponectin

Adiponectin and leptin are among the most important adipokines produced by adipose tissue. These hormones not only act as signaling molecules in energy metabolism but also play a key role in regulating inflammatory processes, insulin sensitivity, and the development of cardiometabolic diseases. Their circulating concentrations and mutual ratio serve as valuable biomarkers for the early detection of metabolic dysfunction and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

Adiponectin – a protective adipokine with antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory effects Adiponectin is a hormone produced by adipose tissue that protects blood vessels and helps reduce inflammation. Unlike leptin, its circulating levels decrease as visceral fat increases. Low adiponectin levels are associated with:

  • increased risk of type 2 diabetes,
  • endothelial dysfunction and accelerated atherogenesis,
  • occurrence of hypertension,
  • left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiometabolic mortality.

Adiponectin promotes fatty acid oxidation in the liver and muscles, reduces the production of TNF-α and other pro-inflammatory mediators, and improves insulin sensitivity. For these reasons, it is considered one of the strongest protective factors for metabolic health.

Adiponectin-to-leptin ratio (Adpn/Lep) – a comprehensive marker of adipose tissue function The Adpn/Lep ratio has emerged as a sensitive indicator of adipose tissue dysfunction and metabolic imbalance. It reflects the balance between the protective and risk-associated effects of adipokines.

  • A low Adpn/Lep ratio is associated with leptin resistance, insulin resistance, and an increased risk of metabolic syndrome.
  • The Adpn/Lep ratio can identify metabolic risk earlier than conventional clinical markers such as fasting glucose or triglycerides.
  • In pediatric populations, it enables early detection of emerging obesity and related metabolic disturbances.
  • It supports the personalization of preventive and therapeutic strategies based on an individual’s metabolic profile.

Given their role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis, adiponectin and leptin are increasingly recommended as complementary biomarkers for patients with obesity, prediabetes, and cardiometabolic risk.
