Serum levels of adipokine retinol-binding protein-4 in relation to renal function: response to Ziegelmeier et al.
OBJECTIVE Retinol-binding protein (RBP)-4 was recently identified as an adipokine that induces insulin resistance. In the current study, we investigated RBP-4 serum levels in diabetic and nondiabetic patients on chronic hemodialysis (CD) compared with control subjects with a glomerular filtration rate >50 ml/min. The majority of the diabetic subjects used oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin. ...
متن کاملSerum Levels of the Adipokine Chemerin in Relation to Renal Function
OBJECTIVE To investigate serum levels of the adipokine chemerin in patients on chronic hemodialysis (CD) as compared with control patients with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >50 ml/min. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Chemerin was quantified by ELISA in control patients (n = 60) and CD patients (n = 60) and correlated with clinical and biochemical measures of renal function, glucose, and lip...
متن کاملEvidence That Kidney Function but Not Type 2 Diabetes Determines Retinol-Binding Protein 4 Serum Levels
OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) links adiposity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. However, circulating RBP4 levels are also affected by kidney function. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test whether RBP4 serum levels are primarily associated with kidney function or type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS RBP4 serum concentration was de...
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...
