Association between Circulating Adiponectin and Interleukin-10 Levels in Android Obesity: Effects of Weight Loss
Objective: Adiponectin inhibits vascular inflammation and increases IL-10 mRNA expression in human macrophages. Thus, we investigated the possible relationship between plasma adiponectin and IL-10 levels and the effects of a diet-induced moderate weight loss on both cytokines. Patients and Study Des...

Zusammenfassung: | Objective: Adiponectin inhibits vascular inflammation and increases IL-10 mRNA expression in human macrophages. Thus, we investigated the possible relationship between plasma adiponectin and IL-10 levels and the effects of a diet-induced moderate weight loss on both cytokines.
Patients and Study Design: Plasma adiponectin and IL-10 levels were analyzed in 64 android [body mass index (BMI), >28 kg/m2; waist to hip ratio (WHR), ≥0.86] and 20 gynoid [BMI, >28 kg/m2; WHR, |
