Functional paradox of leptin and adiponectin in diabetes patients and controls in the Cape Coast Metropolis of Ghana
Aim: To investigate the concept of obesity paradox in diabetes patients and nondiabetic
control in the Cape Coast Metropolis of Ghana. Materials and Methods: Levels of leptin,
adiponectin, total antioxidant power (TAP), lipid peroxides, and C-reactive protein (CRP)
were assessed in 115 diabetics and an equal number of control respondents. Furthermore,
various anthropometric indices and blood pressure were measured using standard
methods. Levels of biomarkers were compared between groups based on body mass index …
