Insulin sensitivity, leptin, and adiponectin concentrations in cats in diabetic remission
Researchers compared differences in insulin, adiponectin, leptin, and measures of insulin sensitivity between twenty diabetic cats in remission and twenty-one healthy control cats, and determine whether these are predictors of diabetic relapse.
Cats in diabetic remission had significantly higher serum glucose and insulin concentrations, and decreased insulin sensitivity. Leptin was significantly increased, but there was no difference in body condition score.
No predictors of relapse were identified in the study.
