Abstract


Omentin-1 and chemerin have been identified as interesting novel adipokines that may modulate insulin action. Also, they have been suggested to be linked to obesity-induced insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between these adipokines and interleukin-6, insulin resistance and anthropometric and metabolic variables in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and in patients with Type 2 diabetes who have ischaemic heart disease.
