Aim: A chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) for high-molecular-weight adiponectin (HMW-ADPN) was recently developed, and has been shown to be faster, more accurate and less expensive than conventional ELISA. In this study, we investigated the relationships between metabolic parameters and the HMW-ADPN level measured by CLEIA in a health check-up setting.Methods: Informed consent was obtained from 1036 male and 416 female Japanese, 40 to 71 years ...
