Figure 1

Schematic representation of the sexual dimorphism of the absolute concentrations of the circulating adiponectin isoforms. Compared to men, women have higher absolute concentrations of circulating total adiponectin and all its isoforms. When the isoforms are expressed as a proportion of the total, women have higher proportions of high and medium molecular-weight isoforms but a lower proportion of the low molecular-weight isoform than men. The figure summarizes the data published previously by Peake et al. [9]
