Order Adiponectin Blood Test from JustLabs for $24 ($42 all-in for a single-test order: $24 + one $18 lab & physician order fee per order). Price includes lab processing at Quest Diagnostics. No insurance required.
Adiponectin is a hormone produced by fat cells that plays a crucial role in regulating glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown.
Adiponectin is an adipokine - a signaling protein secreted by adipose (fat) tissue. Unlike most fat-derived hormones, adiponectin levels are inversely related to body fat: higher body fat typically means lower adiponectin. This hormone has powerful anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects.
Low adiponectin levels are associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and increased cardiovascular risk. Testing adiponectin can provide insights into your metabolic health beyond standard glucose and lipid tests.

What's Measured
What This Test Measures
This test measures the concentration of adiponectin in your blood. Normal ranges typically fall between 4-26 µg/mL for men and 5-37 µg/mL for women. Lower levels are associated with metabolic dysfunction, while higher levels indicate better metabolic health.
Who Should Consider This Test
People concerned about metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes risk. Also useful for those with obesity, PCOS, fatty liver disease, or a family history of diabetes who want a deeper look at metabolic health markers.
