The circulating concentrations of adiponectin, an antidiabetic adipokine, have been shown
to be reduced in obesity, in relation to an increase in inflammation. The aim of the present …

There is a growing evidence that both overnutrition and undernutrition negatively interfere
with immune system. The overnutrition has been found to increase susceptibility to the …

Purpose Adipokines produced by white adipose tissue are central in the development of
lifestyle diseases. Individuals in industrialized countries spend a substantial part of life in the …

In subjects with obesity, diabetes and coronary artery disease, circulating levels of leptin
increased while that of adiponectin is decreased. In this study we have investigated effects …

The metabolic syndrome comprises a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors, with insulin
resistance and adiposity as its central features. Identifying individuals with metabolic …

Adiponectin (ApN) and leptin are two adipocytokines that control fuel homeostasis, body
weight, and insulin sensitivity. Their interplay is still poorly studied. These hormones are …

Conclusions: Modest weight gain in healthy individuals is associated with increases in
adiponectin levels, which correlate positively with changes in leptin. In vitro, leptin induces …

Recent years have seen several advances in our understanding of the functions of adipose
tissue regarding not only the energy storage, but also the regulation of complex metabolic …

Objective: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is an interesting visceral fat pad with a particular
location. EAT and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) produce a wide range of adipokines …

Background Adiponectin, a novel adipocyte-derived collagen-like protein, is the gene
product of the adipose most-abundant gene transcript 1 (apM1), which has been considered …
