Adiponectin concentrations exhibit strong cross-sectional relationships with obesity,
inflammation, and diabetes. Adiponectin concentrations have been extensively evaluated as …

Periodontal disease (PD) and obesity are characterized by a dysregulated inflammatory
state. Both conditions trigger inflammatory and immune responses with an increase in …

Context: Two adipokines highly expressed in fat mass, adiponectin with antiinflammatory
and antiatherogenic properties and visfatin with an insulin-mimetic effect, are potential …

Abstract Background/Aims: Visfatin is a recently discovered adipokine, and its circulating
concentrations have not been adequately studied in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) …

Objective: Adipose tissue dysfunction, characterized by dysregulation of adipokines
production and/or secretion, has been implicated in the pathophysiology of type-2 diabetes …

Objective: To examine the association of plasma interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) concentrations with
adiposity and fat cell metabolism in women. Methods and Procedures: Omental (OM) and …

Bariatric surgery is indicated in cases of severe obesity. However, malabsorption-based
techniques (gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion, both of which exclude the …

Background: Obesity is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation which has been
linked to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes in obese patients …

OBJECTIVE—Obesity, insulin resistance, and weight loss have been associated with
changes in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. So far, no conclusive data relating to …

Obesity is a well-established risk factor for various malignancies and emerging evidence
suggests that adipokines play a pivotal role in linking excess adiposity to tumorigenesis …
