However, the exact pathophysiological mechanism is poorly understood. Objective: To …

Purpose: Adiponectin, adipose tissue-specific protein, has anti-inflammatory and anti-
atherogenic properties. It has been found to have a negative correlation with obesity and to …

Objectives: The relationship of plasma adiponectin levels with various anthropometric and
metabolic factors has been surveyed extensively in adults. However, how plasma …

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, consider
as a manifestation of obesity. However, a proportion of obese patients do not develop MetS …

This study examined the relationships between serum adiponectin (AD) and leptin (LP)
levels, and obesity using a population-based cohort consisted of 315 (9–10 year olds: G1) …

The association of lipid composition in each lipoprotein fraction with adiponectin level in
relation to body fatness was investigated. The subjects were 283 children (144 boys and …

Background: Besides body mass index (BMI), new parameters have been developed to
classify individual body shape. Aim: To investigate the relationship between BMI, waist …

Objective. To evaluate leptin and adiponectin as biomarkers of metabolic syndrome (MS)
risk factors even in nonobese children/adolescents. Methods. Serum leptin, adiponectin …

Objective Adiponectin plays an important role in pathophysiology of obesity, type 2 diabetes
and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine adiponectin …

Background Anthropometric measurements are used to evaluate the body adiposity
distribution. Adiponectin is a protein synthesized by adipose tissue which has an inverse …
