Additional Information
This adiponectin blood test measures the levels of adiponectin in your blood. Adiponectin is a hormonal protein made by fat cells that is related to glucose control and fat metabolism. Adiponectin makes your body more sensitive to insulin, which allows your body to keep blood glucose levels in a healthy range. It also works to store fat in the proper places (ie, in your skin) in the body, instead of around your organs, or in skeletal muscle. This can reduce inflammation and further improves glucose levels and fat metabolism.<sup>1</sup> With Quest, you can buy this adiponectin test online and get testing at a nearby location – no doctor’s visit required.
