%0 Journal Article %T Adipokine Pattern in Subjects with Impaired Fasting Glucose and Impaired Glucose Tolerance in Comparison to Normal Glucose Tolerance and Diabetes %A Anke T£¿njes %A Mathias Fasshauer %A J¨¹rgen Kratzsch %A Michael Stumvoll %A Matthias Bl¨¹her %J PLOS ONE %D 2012 %I Public Library of Science (PLoS) %R 10.1371/journal.pone.0013911 %X Altered adipokine serum concentrations early reflect impaired adipose tissue function in obese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is not entirely clear whether these adipokine alterations are already present in prediabetic states and so far there is no comprehensive adipokine panel available. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess distinct adipokine profiles in patients with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or T2D. %U http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0013911
