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 …

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 …

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

Background. Despite the favourable effects of adiponectin on the vasculature and insulin
resistance (IR), levels are increased in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), in …

Background. Adiponectin, a newly discovered collagen-like protein of the collectin family
exclusively produced by adipocytes, possesses anti-inflammatory properties. Plasma …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Adiponectin, a protein secreted exclusively by adipocytes, is presumed to
be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and insulin resistance. An elevated …

adiponectin levels for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in uremic …

Background. Adiponectin (ADPN) levels are consistently elevated among patients with
advanced chronic kidney disease, but its relationship with cardiovascular outcomes in this …

Background/Aim: Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived protein, has been shown to exert
antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antiatherosclerotic effects. Although recent reports show …
