Objectives Adiponectin levels are inversely related to cardiovascular risk and are low in
diabetics and obese persons. We examined the association between adiponectin …

Objective: To examine whether altered levels of adipokines, adipose-derived peptides
associated with myocardial infarction in the general population, may contribute to subclinical …

Alterations of fat distribution and insulin resistance are associated with increased risk of
metabolic derangements and cardiovascular disease. HIV-infected adult patients on …

The relationship of adipocytokine with the development of HIV-related lipodystrophy was
investigated in a case-control study. Adipocytokine, lipid, and glycemic parameters were …

Objective Despite evidence for the role of adipocyte-derived hormones in insulin resistance,
little is known about their levels in human lipodystrophic states. We examined the …

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has dramatically reduced HIV-related mortality,
but is associated with severe metabolic adverse events, such as lipodystrophy and insulin …

Aims/hypothesis We hypothesised that loss of peripheral fat in HIV patients would result in
decreased plasma adipocytokines, in particular adiponectin, and that this decrease would …

HIV-related lipodystrophy is characterized by adipose redistribution, dyslipidemia, and
insulin resistance. Adiponectin is an adipose-derived peptide thought to act as a systemic …

This study tested the hypothesis that in patients with HIV-associated lipodystrophy,
adiponectin levels were related to insulin resistance, TNF-α and IL-6 and treatment with …

Objectives Adipose dysregulation, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance are hallmarks of HIV‐
related lipodystrophy. The precise mechanisms behind these disturbances are unknown. In …
