Adiponectin
Adiponectin is a hormone produced by fat cells that helps regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. Low levels of adiponectin are associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.
iollo markers that associate with Adiponectin
Alanine
Increased alanine levels are associated with insulin resistance and may decrease adiponectin secretion from adipose tissue.References

Glutamine
Glutamine supplementation has been shown to increase adiponectin levels, possibly by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.References
