Purpose: Colorectal carcinogenesis is thought to be related to abdominal obesity and insulin
resistance. To investigate whether visceral fat accumulation contributes to colorectal …

Purpose There are few studies addressing the association between measured values of
visceral fat accumulation (VFA), adiponectin, and colorectal neoplasia. Our purpose is to …

AIM: To investigate the association between adiponectin levels and risk of colorectal
adenoma and cancer (early and advanced). METHODS: A cross-sectional study in a cohort …

Background: Adiponectin is an insulin-sensitizing hormone secreted by adipocytes. Levels
of adiponectin are inversely associated with adiposity and insulin resistance. Because both …

OBJECTIVE: To provide a systematic review with a meta‐analysis for addressing the
association between circulating adiponectin levels and the risk of colorectal cancer and …

Adiponectin—an adipose tissue-derived protein—may provide a molecular link between
obesity and colorectal cancer (CRC), but evidence from large prospective studies is limited …

Inconsistent results with regard to adiponectin levels in patients with colorectal cancer
(CRC) and adenoma have been reported. To evaluate adiponectin levels in patients with …

Obesity has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal neoplasia, but the
mechanisms of this potential association have not been elucidated. We hypothesized that …

Background Although altered levels of adiponectin have been reported as a potential risk
factor in colorectal cancer (CRC), the importance of the role played by adiponectin in …

Obesity, an established risk factor for colorectal cancer, is characterized by the accumulation
of excessive adipose tissue, which is the source of a variety of biologically active …
