Enhanced adiponectin multimer ratio and skeletal muscle adiponectin receptor expression following exercise training and diet in older insulin-resistant adults

Circulating adiponectin is reduced in disorders associated with insulin resistance. This study was conducted to determine whether an exercise/diet intervention would alter adiponectin multimer distribution and adiponectin receptor expression in skeletal muscle. Impaired glucose-tolerant older (>6…
