Ratio of high-, medium-, and low-molecular weight serum adiponectin to the total adiponectin value in children.
In 760 children age 9 to 10 years, the serum adiponectin composition (high molecular weight [HMW], hexameric medium molecular weight [MMW], and trimeric low molecular weight [LMW]) was found to vary markedly depending on whether the total adiponectin value was high or low. A lower total adiponectin value was associated with a lower ratio of HMW adiponectin.
