Maternal serum adiponectin multimers in preeclampsia.
OBJECTIVE Obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia are associated with preeclampsia. Recently, "adipose tissue failure", characterized by dysregulation of adipokine production, has been implicated in the pathophysiology of these metabolic complications. Adiponectin, an insulin-sensitizing, anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory and angiogenic adipokine, circulates in oligomeric complexes incl...
متن کاملMaternal serum adiponectin multimers in patients with a small-for-gestational-age newborn.
OBJECTIVE Several mechanisms of disease have been implicated in the pathophysiology of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) including an anti-angiogenic state, and an exaggerated intravascular pro-inflammatory response. Adiponectin plays a role in a wide range of biological activities including those that have been implicated in the pathophysiology SGA. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine i...
متن کاملImproved ELISA for selective measurement of adiponectin multimers and identification of adiponectin in human cerebrospinal fluid.
BACKGROUND Human serum adiponectin exists in 3 multimer forms: high molecular weight (HMW), middle molecular weight, and low molecular weight (LMW), with some of the latter bound to albumin (Alb)-LMW. Some studies have suggested that adiponectin crosses the blood-brain barrier and plays a central role in energy homeostasis. METHODS To determine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) adiponectin at extreme...
متن کاملMaternal serum levels of adiponectin in preeclampsia.
BACKGROUND The results of the serum levels of adiponectin in preeclamptic patients are conflicting. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to assess serum levels of adiponectin in women with preeclampsia compared with healthy pregnant women. METHODS A cross-sectional study was designed. The case group consisted of women with preeclampsia (n = 30). The control group consisted of 30 match...
متن کاملThe diagnostic value of adiponectin multimers in healthy men undergoing screening for prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Adiponectin has been reported to have a prohibitory effect on prostate cancer. The goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of adiponectin multimers for prostate cancer. METHODS Total adiponectin, high- and low-molecular-weight (HMW, LMW), ratios of these measures, and body mass index (BMI) were compared in a prospective prostate cancer-screened cohort. Multivariable...
