Adiponectin is one of the most prevalent and extensively investigated adipokines and it has been described as an important protective factor against the negative metabolic and cardiovascular effects of diabetes and obesity [Adiponectin, a prominent adipokine released by adipose tissue [Adiponectin enhances insulin sensitivity in both animal and human studies [In addition, interventional and epidemiological clinical studies have shown a beneficial relationship between legume consumption and adiponectin levels in type 2 diabetes patients [We postulated that inositol and InsP6 supplementation would raise blood adiponectin levels. The aim of this study was to see if daily phytate ingestion may increase serum adiponectin levels for up to 3 months in type 2 diabetic patients in a randomized crossover trial.
