Serum Adiponectin Concentrations are not Related to Glycosylated Hemoglobin Levels (HbA1c) in Obese Diabetic and Non-diabetic Caucasians

Abstract: Concentrations of adiponectin were not correlated with levels of glycosylated hemoglobin in the diabetic and non-diabetic subjects examined.

“…One reason of this discrepancy may be physiological concentration in patients receiving insulin injection dose in our study. In addition, changes in glycaemia and HbA1c were not significantly associated with adiponectin and leptin, as previously reported [15,23,27,33]. These results suggest that adiponectin and leptin levels were primarily regulated by factors other than glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes.…”

“…Changes in adiponectin levels were not associated with improvement in metabolic control as assessed by fasting glucose and HbA1c. This lack of association between adiponectin and indices of diabetic control was also observed in earlier studies [34], although not in all [35]. Similarly, although we found a positive correlation of adiponectin with the gynoid depot and an inverse correlation with the android/gynoid ratio, we could not demonstrate a positive response of adipo-nectin levels to weight reduction.…”

“…On the other hand white Caucasians appear to be relatively protected from reduced adiponectin until they reach very high BMIs i.e. ≥35 [31]. Adiponectin is produced from subcutaneous and visceral adipocytes and the exact proportion of circulating adiponectin attributed to each depot is debated [32], [33].…”
