Serum Adiponectin and Leptin in a Patient with Cushings Syndrome Before and After Adrenalectomy

Serum adiponectin and leptin in a patient with Cushing's syndrome before and after adrenalectomy.

We measured the serum adiponectin and leptin concentrations before and after successful removal of a left adrenal adenoma in a 46-year-old woman with Cushing's syndrome. The serum adiponectin level was 6.0 microg/ml before the operation and rose to 8.1 microg/ml after adrenalectomy. However, the serum leptin level was markedly high (24.8 ng/ml) before the operation and decreased to within the n...

Serum Leptin and Adiponectin Levels in Korean Patients with Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a disorder caused by genetic and immunological factors. Leptin, a peptide hormone secreted predominantly from adipose tissue, regulates energy intake and expenditure, as well as the T-helper response. There have been conflicting reports regarding serum levels of leptin and adiponectin in patients with psoriasis. In the present study, we measured serum levels of leptin and adiponect...
