Objectives Adiponectin/leptin ratio (ALR) is a promising novel marker of cardio-metabolic
risk in patients with metabolic syndrome. Our aim was to study the association of adiponectin …

Background and Aims Childhood obesity is an important risk factor for the development of
insulin resistance (IR) and its co-morbidities. However, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) rather …

Background This study aimed to investigate the associations between metabolic syndrome
(Mets) and adiponectin concentrations in Iranian adolescents. Methods This study was …

Purpose The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between adiposity,
cardiometabolic risk and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) according to different groups of …

Background It is imperative to develop markers for risk stratification and detection of
cardiometabolic comorbidities in children with obesity. The adipokines leptin and …

Background Obesity is associated with the rise of noncommunicable diseases worldwide.
The pathophysiology behind this disease involves the increase of adipose tissue, being …

Introduction: Obesity in adolescents can cause metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance
increases the risk of metabolic syndrome, which then increases the risk of premature death …

Objectives To examine the association and predictive capacity of adiponectin levels, HOMA-
AD and HOMA-IR indexes with metabolic risk markers in children and adolescents. Methods …

Adipokines are a superfamily of cell signaling proteins produced by the adipose tissue. This
study's purpose was to reveal the association of adipokines (leptin, adiponectin), hs-CRP …

OBJECTIVE: Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived adipocytokine which appears in
decreased concentrations in obese patients and in several processes related to …
