Objective: Here we use a novel ELISA that is specific for full-length visfatin (PBEF/NAMPT), compare it with the existing C-terminal based assay and use it to investigate associations of visfatin with metabolic parameters. Design, patients and measurements: We established the specificity and effecti...
