A chemerin measurement is a quantification of chemerin typically in serum. Chemerin is an adipokine with important regulatory roles in adipogenesis. In humans, serum total chemerin (i.e. prochemerin plus chemerin) levels are positively associated with body mass index and metabolic syndrome (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20363880)
