Associations of circulating chemerin and adiponectin concentrations with hepatic steatosis.

Objective: Chemerin and adiponectin are adipokines assumed to be involved in the development of metabolic syndrome-related phenotypes like hepatic steatosis. We aimed to evaluate the associations of circulating chemerin and adiponectin concentrations with liver enzymes, liver fat content, and hepatic steatosis in the general population.

Methods: Data of 3951 subjects from the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-TREND) were used.
