Decreased adiponectin, an adipose tissue-derived hormone, is associated with obesity and inflammatory diseases. In this study, we aimed 1) to compare serum adiponectin between obese and non-obese men, 2) to determine its relation with insulin resistance in obese subjects. For this purpose, basal concentrations of adiponectin, insulin and glucose were measured after an overnight fast in fifteen non-trained obese or non-obese men matched for age (32 – 39 years). Independent sample T-test was used to compare variables between two groups and Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to relation between adiponectin and insulin resistance in obese subjects. Based on statistical data, serum adiponectin levels were significantly lower in obese subjects in comparison to non-obese group (p = 0.011). But we did not significant correlation between serum adiponectin with insulin resistance in obese subjects (p = 0.329, r = 0.13). In conclusion, these findings support lower adiponectin in obesity, but it appear to each independently affect glucose.

Serum adiponectin predicts cardiovascular fitness in none-trained men

Accumulating evidence indicates that obesity and overweight are associated with systemic inflammation and low cardiovascular fitness. Although the pathophysiologic mechanisms of the relation between systemic inflammation and cardiovascular fitness are not fully understood. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the relationship between fasting serum adiponectin as an antiinflammatory cytokine with maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) or heart rate as two physiological markers of cardiovascular fitness in 38 sedentary healthy adult overweight or obese men (Aged 36 to 46 years, body mass index = 30 ± 6 kg/m2). Pearson correlations were used to establish the relationship between adiponectin concentrations with other variables on obese subjects. Serum adiponectin was highly negative associated with VO2max (r=0.54, p=0.000). Serum adiponectin concentrations were also independently associated with resting heart rate in studied subjects (r = 0.52, p = 0.000). On the basis of these observational findings, it can be assumed that systemic inflammation affect cardiovascular fitness in obese human.

Insulin Resistance: What it is and 9 ways to Counteract it

Insulin Resistance: What it is and 9 ways to Counteract it

Summary Insulin resistance is a metabolic condition that results from a diet high in processed foods. It’s incredible to imagine that every function in our bodies, including what we eat, requires gene activation; every morsel of food has a purpose. Our bodies metabolize following gene signals released in preparation and response to the intake. The hormone insulin works with glucose absorbed from…

Association of Adiponectin and Leptin with Coronary Atherosclerosis Severity Indices in Metabolic Syndrome Patients | Chapter 07 | Emerging Research in Medical Sciences Vol. 3

Adipose tissue is considered as an active endocrine organ that releases a large number of adipokines modulating blood pressure, glucose and lipid metabolism, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis has been found linked with various traditional and novel risk actors. This chapter describe the updated review of published literature and present research findings describing the linkage of extent and severity of coronary atherosclerosis with two of the adipokines, adiponectin and leptin, as novel risk factors in metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients. A pilot, Case-control study was carried under Sadbhavna Medical and Heart Institute, Patiala and, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Research, Punjabi University, Patiala, between January to December 2013. MetS patients (n=55) with age ≥18 years, undergoing angiography for diagnosis and/or interventional treatment of atherosclerosis and 25 matched control subjects were recruited. Evaluation of traditional and novel cardiovascular risk factors (adipose-derived hormones) and their association with angiographic-derived presence and degree of atherosclerosis indices (number of blocked vessels, severity index, and extent index) was carried out. Low serum adiponectin and high total cholesterol level were found as the independent predictors of atherosclerosis for number of blocked vessels. For extent and severity index, low adiponectin level was the only significant and independent predictor. Leptin and adiponectin/leptin (A/L) ratio could not prove as significant predictors (p≥0.05). Based on the results, it was concluded that Total cholesterol, adiponectin, leptin and A/L ratio might play a vital pathogenic role not only in the occurrence, but also in the severity, extent, number of vessels blocked complexity in MetS.

Lose weight and prevent diabetes with folk medicine from Mexico: Yellow oleander seeds found to reduce obesity and prevent insulin resistance

Obesity is a serious health concern that affects more than an individual’s weight. Obese individuals have higher than normal levels of adipose tissue, which manifests in Body Weight (BW) gain. A person’s height and weight is “used to determine the degree of obesity.”

To address the issue of obesity, “a multifactorial disease” that has significantly increased the development of…
