Abstract

BACKGROUND: Adiponectin, which is a collagen-like plasma protein produced by adipose tissue, has anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. Plasma adiponectin levels in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were determined, as well as relationships between the plasma levels of adiponectin and other hormones. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study group comprised 90 patients with CHF and 20 control subjects, who were divided into 4 subgroups according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class. Plasma levels of adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cardiac hemodynamics were determined. Plasma adiponectin levels were significantly increased according to the severity of NYHA class in the patients with CHF; control: 6.2+/-1.0; NYHA I: 8.5+/-1.9, NYHA II: 12.0+/-2.2, NYHA III: 13.0+/-2.7, NYHA IV: 14.9+/-2.7 microg/ml (p=0.0008). Similarly, plasma BNP levels were significantly increased in accordance with the NYHA class. Plasma adiponectin levels correlated positively with BNP (r=0.40, p=0.0002) and TNF-alpha (r=0.49, p=0.0001), and correlated negatively with cardiac index (r=-0.27, p=0.05). In 24 of 46 patients in the NYHA III and IV subgroups, according to the prompt improvement in cardiac function, levels of both plasma adiponectin and BNP were significantly reduced (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION: Plasma adiponectin levels increased according to the severity of CHF and, moreover, they correlated with the plasma levels of BNP and TNF-alpha. These results indicate that augmented release of adiponectin is involved in the pathogenesis of CHF and further study is needed to elucidate its exact role.

  • Clinical studies have established correlations between plasma adiponectin levels and various aspects and severity of heart failure.

    “First, an important pathophysiological contribution was suggested by the recent explosion in the number of clinical studies that have established correlations between plasma adiponectin levels and various aspects and severity of heart failure (107, 113, 143, 166, 172, 183, 198, 209, 251, 275, 282, 286, 303, 312, 366).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
