ME Trujillo, PE Scherer - Journal of internal medicine, 2005 - edulife.com.br Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that was discovered in 1995. Unlike leptin, which
was identified around the same time, the clinical rele- vance of adiponectin remained obscure
for a number of years. However, starting in 2001, several studies were published from ... Cited by 293 - Related articles - View as HTML - All 5 versions
