“…Interestingly, this study found that leptin levels were higher in children with T1D with an increased hip circumference and lower in T1D children with a higher waist to hip ratio, indicating that leptin levels might be more dependent on non-abdominal adipose tissue. This finding is in accordance with Harke et al study on adult males with T2D, where leptin levels were negatively associated with waist to hip ratio [ 19 ].…”

“…Leptin and adiponectin are known to serve opposing roles involving the inflammatory response, which could explain the absence of the association in our study with leucocyte and neutrophil counts, observed for leptin. An inverse relationship between leptin and adiponectin has been reported in adults with T2D and in patients with obesity and coronary artery disease [ 17 , 19 ]. Leptin is a pro-inflammatory cytokine responsible for the upregulation of factors involved in the inflammatory pathway of T2D (i.e., TNF-α, IL-6) [ 6 ], while anti-inflammatory properties are attributed to adiponectin [ 6 ].…”

“…The present study participants had more BMI and WHR and thus, our study also suggests the relationship between the anthropometric indices of adiposity and T2DM risk like the previous studies. [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] Daily dose of metformin in our study ranges from 500mg to 2000mg/day which is consistent with the previous study. 60 The median duration of diabetes was 4years like the previous study.…”

“…Furthermore, adiponectin are expressed lower than adipocytokines in obese people [13]. Harke et al reported that abdominal obesity in diabetic females correlates with altered levels of adipocytokines [14].…”
