Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) show an inverse association between body
mass index and risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Paradoxical epidemiology may …

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 …

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

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