Author(s): Deepy Zohmangaihi*, SB Sharma and SV Madhu
Purpose: To identify the association if any, of inflammatory markers (IL-6 and hsCRP) with adiponectin in obese diabetic, non-obese diabetic, obese non-diabetic and healthy (control) people in North Indian population.
Materials and Methods: Total 88 volunteers were distributed in 4 groups: obese diabetic, non-obese diabetic, obese non-diabetic and healthy controls. The blood chemistry parameters were analyzed and serum adiponectin, IL-6 and hsCRP levels were measured by ELISA.
Result: Significant reduction was observed in serum adiponectin levels in obese and diabetic group as compared with healthy population. Similarly, significant increase was observed in IL-6 and hs CRP levels in obese and diabetic groups compared with healthy control group.
Conclusion: From our dat.. View More»
