RATIONALE: Circulating adiponectin levels are negatively associated with glucose
intolerance, inflammation and central adiposity. Since these conditions are common in cystic …

Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is an important complication of CF that increases
mortality. Adiponectin, an adipokine secreted from adipose tissue, plays an important role in …

The aim of the study was to evaluate adiponectin (AD) serum concentrations in 43 stable CF
patients and 27 healthy subjects and to correlate them with their nutritional status. Body …

Context: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease characterized by weight loss and chronic low-grade
inflammation. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess changes in body …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease characterized by progressive decline of lung
function and chronic airway inflammation. Adipose tissue, through adiponectin and leptin …

Context: Low plasma adiponectin concentrations in smokers may contribute to the adverse
consequences that occur in these individuals. Objective: The objective of the study was to …

Objective Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with low adiponectin levels,
although adiponectin is exclusively expressed in white adipose tissue. The mechanism …

OBJECTIVES: Adiponectin is strongly associated with diabetes in the Western population.
However, whether adiponectin is independently associated with impaired fasting glucose …

Background: Adiponectin is a recently discovered plasma protein with many associations to
glucose and lipid metabolism. Due to its central role in cardiovascular diseases and insulin …

BACKGROUND: Age-related adiponectin concentration has been discrepantly reported. We
investigated the distribution of adiponectin by age in healthy women with normal glucose …
