Method for evaluating the amount of adiponectin in saliva and kit for measuring the amount of adiponectin in saliva

摘要

A method for evaluating a salivary adiponectin level, comprising evaluating the salivary adiponectin level by the level of multimeric adiponectin of 280 kDa or more. A method for evaluating a salivary adiponectin level, wherein a saliva sample is fractionated into human multimeric adiponectin of 280 kDa or more and human multimeric adiponectin of less than 280 kDa. A kit for measuring a salivary adiponectm level, comprising a reagent of an anti-adiponectin antibody which reacts specifically with multimeric adiponectin of 280 kDa or more in the collected saliva, wherein the salivary adiponectin level is evaluated by the level of the multimeric adiponectin of 280 kDa or more, by the reagent.
