Abstract:
Adiponectin is an adipocyte derived hormone, a modulator of lipid metabolism and systemic inflammation. It has potential anti-atherogenic property. Adiponectin is present in low concentration in patients with obesity, insulin resistance (IR), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary heart disease (CHD). In this case control study, we studied the association of Serum adiponectin with CHD. Sixty-four subjects were enrolled. Consecutive 31 CHD patients (Group I) and 33 healthy controls (Group II) were included. Serum adiponectin & lipid profile were estimated in all. Serum adiponectin was significantly lower in CHD patients (3.90±2.21μg/ml) in comparison with controls (5.09±2.13μg/ml)(P<0.05). There was no significant difference of any fraction of lipid profile between cases and controls. Significant negative correlation was observed between Serum adiponectin and Serum triacylglyceride (STG) in cases (P<0.01). It may be concluded that low serum adiponectin may have some important role in development of CHD and probably low adiponectin and dyslipidemia are linked in the development of atherosclerosis. Further study is recommended with larger sample size to explore the role of hypoadiponectinemia in the causation of CHD.

Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...
