Abstract
Adipokines such as leptin and adiponectin are adipocyte-specific secretory proteins that play important roles in the metabolic regulation of body weight, insulin resistance and cardiovascular complications. The relationship between the malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome and high levels of some adipokines in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is still unclear. An association between high body mass index (BMI) and improved survival in PD patients has also been proposed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the levels of plasma adipokines and inflammation and oxidative stress markers in overweight and normal weight PD patients. Thirty PD patients (12 M, 18 F; mean age 57.3 ± 16.6 years) were examined and 23 healthy volunteers were included as a control group. The levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, leptin, the leptin receptor, adiponectin, malondialdehyde/4-hydroxynonenal, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, carbonyl groups and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) were measured in both groups. The nutritional status of each patient was determined by albumin levels, BMI, percentage of body fat (%F), lean body mass (LBM) and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA)...Continue Reading
