Linking adiponectin expression and kidney dysfunction among Indian patients with and without diabetic nephropathy.

Diabetic kidney disease is a common cause of end stage renal disease has a high incidence rate in population with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Adiponectin is an adipocytokine shown to strive anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative as well as anti-inflammatory. The present study aimed to determine the serum adiponectin levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus and explore its association with nephropathy.

Association of adiponectin levels with polycystic ovary syndrome among Indian women.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition where women reproductive hormones are out of endocrinal balance. Women with PCOS frequently exhibit obesity, which causes irregularities in the levels of adipocytes like adiponectin. It is hypothesized that the altered adiponectin levels also play a role in the endocrine and metabolic abnormalities seen in PCOS women.
