Serum adipokine levels in the obese people
We read the article by Onat et al (1) on the association of serum adiponectin with obesity, hyperinsulinemia, lipoproteins, inflammatory markers and sex hormone binding globulin. In a relatively large population sample, they report some interesting results based mostly on statistical associations that, to our understanding, might not wholly represent the studied population itself. As we know, o...
متن کاملEffect of weight loss on adipokine levels in obese patients
BACKGROUND Adipose tissue functions as an endocrine organ by releasing adipokines which have important roles in the regulation of inflammation and insulin sensitivity. Although there is evidence of improvement in circulating levels of adipokines with weight loss, few studies relate such changes to specific diets. We investigated the effects of weight loss achieved by two different diets on circ...
متن کاملSerum Levels of the Adipokine FGF21 Depend on Renal Function
OBJECTIVE To investigate renal elimination of the adipokine fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) by determining circulating FGF21 levels in patients on chronic hemodialysis (CD) as compared with control subjects with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >50 ml/min. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS FGF21 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in control (n = 60) and CD (n = 60) patients a...
متن کاملSerum Levels of the Adipokine Progranulin Depend on Renal Function
OBJECTIVE Progranulin has recently been introduced as a novel adipokine inducing insulin resistance and obesity. In the current study, we investigated renal elimination, as well as association of the adipokine with markers of the metabolic syndrome. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Progranulin serum levels were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and correlated to anthropometric and bi...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of serum adipokine levels in colorectal cancer patients.
BACKGROUND Adipokines may significantly influence the growth and proliferation of tumor stroma and malignant cells within. Reduced adiponectin and increased leptin serum levels were found in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Recently, it has been demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is able to induce dose-dependent changes in serum adipokine levels. Thus, aims of this study...
