Methods Adiponectin, IL-6 and TNF-alpha measurements and echocardiographic
evaluations were performed in 36 hemodialysis, 30 continuous ambulatory peritoneal …

Background: Adiponectin, a cytokine with anti-inflammatory properties that is secreted from
adipose tissue, is associated with insulin resistance. Adiponectin has been shown to be a …

Background: Adiponectin is a serum protein produced by adipose tissue which exerts anti-
inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-atherosclerotic properties, hence is considered a cardio …

Abstract Background/Aim: Plasma adiponectin may play a protective role in the
pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We examined the …

Aim: Malnutrition and inflammation are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and
increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in end-stage renal disease. The aim of this study …

Adiponectin plays an important role in the regulation of body weight, insulin sensitivity, lipid
metabolism, and the inflammatory response. Adiponectin is elevated in hemodialysis …

Background: Adiponectin is an antiatherogenic adipocyte‐derived proteins. The level of
plasma adiponectin is inversely correlated to cardiovascular risk in patients with end‐stage …

Background In uremic patients, depending on their type, the T-cells produce a range of pro-
inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to compare the …

Aims: To compare plasma adiponectin levels between healthy controls and patients with
chronic renal failure and to examine for a relationship between plasma adiponectin levels …

Background: Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, has been shown to prevent the
progression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). However, recent studies have …
