Evaluation of the Plasma Adiponectin Level in Individuals Suffering from Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract

Introduction: Adiponectin is one of the adipocytokines and has a physiological role in glucose and lipid, as well as

cardiovascular regulation. Adiponectin is interestingly different from other adipocytokines being negatively correlated with increased body fat.

Aims and Objectives: A study of correlation of Adiponectin levels in metabolic syndromes. Correspondence of adiponectin levels and various components of metabolic syndrome such as Blood pressure, Lipid profile, BMI (Basal metabolic index), Waist circumference, Blood sugar levels (fasting and post prandial).

Methods and Materials: This observational cross-sectional hospital-based study was performed in Department of Biochemistry, Index Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre Indore MP, India. Study population: 300 patients attending in Department of Biochemistry, Index Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre Indore MP, India with metabolic syndrome during the study period.

Result: We observed that statistically significant lower adiponectin levels were associated with most features.

Conclusion: Adiponectin level was significantly decreased as the number of metabolic yndrome components increases.
