Adiponectin affects nitric oxide production, and low plasma adiponectin levels are
associated with impaired endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. However, adiponectin …

Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, possesses anti-inflammatory properties. Its
decreased levels were noted in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). Animal studies suggest …

Background: Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived bioactive protein, provides vascular
protection. Recent clinical studies have suggested that plasma adiponectin plays a role in …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether hypo-adiponectinemia is present in ischemic stroke
patients. METHODS: This comparative study was carried out in the Biochemistry …

Background Hyperadiponectinemia or hypoadiponectinemia is associated with different
diseases. There is a paucity of data on circulating plasma adiponectin concentrations in …

Adiponectin is produced from fatty tissue and has been reported to be involved with
metabolic syndrome. Recently, adiponectin has been demonstrated to play a …

We examined the association between plasma adiponectin (ADPN) levels and
cardiovascular mortality in acute stroke patients. We enrolled 552 consecutive acute stroke …

Background and Purpose—This study aimed to investigate the association between plasma
adiponectin levels and 5-year survival after first-ever ischemic stroke. Methods—Plasma …

Objective Although adiponectin is a major adipocytokine that affects the pathogenesis of
various cardiovascular diseases, its clinical significance in stroke remains controversial. We …
