Association between High Molecular Weight Adiponectin Levels and Metabolic Parameters

EGLIT Obesity , impaired glucose regulation , metabolic syndrome and their associations with high - molecular - weight adiponectin levels

Association of the leptin to high-molecular-weight adiponectin ratio with metabolic syndrome.

Recent studies have reported that leptin and adiponectin are associated with metabolic syndrome. The leptin/adiponectin ratio has been suggested as an atherosclerotic index. The objective of this study was to compare the degree of association of metabolic syndrome with adiponectin levels, leptin levels, leptin/adiponectin ratio, and leptin/high-molecular-weight (HMW) adiponectin ratio. The s...

Association between adiponectin with insulin and blood sugar levels in obese adolescents in comparison with normal weight adolescents

Introduction: The growing number of obesity and excess of body fat mass in adolescents in recent years and also increasing prevalence of chronic diseases associated with obesity in Iranian adolescents, tends to develop this study. The present was aimed to investigate relationship between adiponectin level with some of biochemical and anthropometric index in obese and normal weight adolesc...

Comparison of Serum Levels of Adiponectin and Cortisol between Overweight/Obese and Normal Weight Men

Introduction: Obesity, results in a number of serious complications, such as type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome. The levels of blood of adiponectin and cortisol have been associated with obesity. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of adiponectin and cortisol levels with obesity and biochemical parameters. Methods: This case-control study was...

The relationship between visfatin levels and anthropometric and metabolic parameters: association with cholesterol levels in women.

Adipose tissue has recently been identified as an endocrine organ. Visfatin is a novel adipocytokine predominantly secreted from visceral adipocytes. Visceral obesity is an important component of metabolic syndrome; however, the relationship between visfatin levels and metabolic syndrome is not clear. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between visfatin levels and anthropom...
