Abstract

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels are closely associated with adiposity and predict coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, relationships of CRP to adiponectin and other markers of insulin resistance have been inadequately researched in children. We measured fasting serum levels of adiponectin, insulin, hs-CRP, and lipoproteins, and recorded the anthropometric profile and percentage of body fat (%BF; bioimpedance method) in 62 (36 normal weight, 26 overweight) healthy, urban, postpubertal Asian Indian males (aged 14 to 18 years). Serum levels of adiponectin were lower (P = not significant [NS]), whereas those of fasting insulin (P = .01) and hs-CRP (P = .02) were higher in overweight subjects. Adiponectin levels inversely correlated with body mass index (BMI; r = -0.26, P < .05), %BF (r = -0.24, P < .05), fasting insulin (r = -0.32, P < .05) and insulin resistance measured by the homeostasis model of assessment (HOMA-IR; r = -0.31, P < .05), but not with hs-CRP levels. Fasting insulin and hs-CRP levels correlated significantly with BMI, %BF, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip circumference ratio (W-HR), and triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness. The correlation of adiponectin wit...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
