association of adiponectin and metabolic syndrome in women

Association of adiponectin and metabolic syndrome in women

BACKGROUND An inverse association between serum adiponectin level and metabolic syndrome was seen in few studies. The aim of this study was to assess the association between serum adiponectin levels and metabolic syndrome in a sample of Iranian women from Kerman. METHODS In a cross-sectional study 946 subjects were studied to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and in a case contro...

Association of White Blood Cell Count With Metabolic Syndrome in Obese Men and Women

Background: Despite the widespread obesity epidemic in the world, not all obese people are equally susceptible to the complications of obesity. Inflammatory factors play an important role in the complications of obesity. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the association of White Blood Cell (WBC) count with metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese men and women. Methods: This cross-sectiona...

Adiponectin and Metabolic Syndrome in Women at Menopause

Obesity is associated with premature atherosclerosis, as well as with many metabolic alterations including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension. Visceral fat accumulation, particularly, is closely associated with the development of metabolic syndrome. The menopause transition, as well as the early postmenopausal period, is associated with increase in total and central obesity. Amon...

Adiponectin and metabolic syndrome.

In this review article, the crucial roles of adipocytes in the development of so-called metabolic syndrome and vascular disease are reviewed, focusing on adipocyte-derived bioactive substances, adipocytokines. Recent progress in adipocyte biology shows that adipocytes are not merely energy-storing cells but that they secrete a variety of hormones cytokines, growth factors, and other bioactive s...

adiponectin and metabolic syndrome prevention

Association of adiponectin gene -11377C>G polymorphism with adiponectin levels and the metabolic syndrome in Thais.

The metabolic syndrome is related to increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Adiponectin is an adipocyte-secreted protein with insulin-sensitizing and anti-atherogenic properties. The aims of this study were to evaluate adiponectin levels and biochemical parameters in metabolic-syndrome subjects and healthy controls. The study also sought to identify links betwe...
