Role of Adiponectin in Patients With Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: A. M. El-Nuweihy, et al. 108LDL, insulin and c-peptide. The ability of adiponectin to increase insulin sensitivity in conjunction with its anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties have made this novel adipocytokine a promising therapeutic tool for the future.

“…It does not only respond to afferent signals from traditional hormone systems and the central nervous system but also expresses and secretes factors with important endocrine functions. These factors include leptin, adiponectin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, proteins of the renin-angiotensin system, acylation stimulating protein and resistin (5) . Leptin, (from the Greek word leptos, meaning thin) is a peptide hormone, secreted from adipose tissue, which influences energy homeostasis, immune and neuroendocrine function (6) .In humans, it is well established that plasma leptin levels are directly proportional to percentage body fat.…”

“…17 Contrary to our findings, several human studies have confirmed that obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are associated with lower levels of adiponectin compared to normal healthy individuals, though the effects of drug therapy on adiponectin levels of these patients were not considered. [18][19][20] Type 2 diabetics studied had significantly (p<0.05) higher BMI, WC, fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c values than non-diabetics. Diabetes is a common endocrine disorder characterized by hyperglycemia leading to non-enzymatic glycation of proteins, responsible for chronic complications.…”
