Test your
Adiponectin
Looking for an easy way to test and monitor your Adiponectin?
It's included in the HealthieOne Disease-Specific test.
Adiponectin
Explanation: Adiponectin is a hormone made by fat cells that helps regulate blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and support how the body breaks down fats. Low levels are often seen in conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Unlike most hormones, adiponectin levels tend to decrease as body fat increases.
Test Purpose:
- Evaluate the risk of metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
- Assess cardiovascular risk, since low adiponectin levels are linked to heart disease.
- Support early detection of chronic conditions associated with inflammation and poor glucose regulation.
