"Whereas healthy people usually have high adiponectin levels circulating in their bodies, obese fat is different from healthy fat. Obese fat produces less adiponectin, reflected in lower levels of adiponectin found in serum," explained Dr. Ranscht, professor in Sanford-Burnham's Tumor Microenvironment Program and senior author of the study. "Many clinical studies correlate low adiponectin levels with an increased risk for heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular dysfunctions."

Would love to know how Vitamin D levels compared in those with low adiponectin vs higher adiponectin.

That would be interesting. Just what it is that vitamin D ends up doing would be interesting.
