Aims: Adiponectin seems to be an important modulator for metabolic and vascular diseases.
We aimed to measure plasma adiponectin levels in type 2 diabetic patients and investigate …

Abstract Background/Aims: Adiponectin seems to be an important modulator for metabolic
and vascular diseases. A case study was designed to measure plasma adiponectin levels …

Introduction Diabetic nephropathy is one of the major microvascular complications of
diabetes mellitus. Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived cytokine that was identified in a …

Background Experimental studies have shown that adiponectin has antiproteinuric and
nephroprotective effects. The purpose of the study was to assess the value of plasma …

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

Adiponectin is secreted specifically by adipose tissue. It was reported that the serum
adiponectin level was markedly increased in patients with end-stage renal disease and was …

Background. Adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing cytokine, has been
shown to reduce proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis in experimental models. We assessed …

Background Adiponectin, a peptide hormone secreted from adipocytes, exerts anti-diabetic,
anti-atherogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties. We aimed to determine the relationship …

Adipose tissue appears to be a modulator of vascular injury and systemic inflammation. The
aim of this study was to establish the relationship between plasma adiponectin …

Background. Plasma adiponectin concentration is inversely associated with renal function.
There is little literature on adiponectin levels and regulation by anti-hypertensive medication …
