Background: Despite the favourable effects of adiponectin on the vasculature and insulin resistance (IR), levels are increased in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), in whom both IR and atherosclerosis are prevalent.
Methods: To investigate this paradox, we examined the distribution of adiponectin isoforms, the expression of adiponectin receptor (AdipoR) mRNA on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 41 patients with ESKD on haemodialysis and 41 matched controls, and its function by adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation of AdipoR on PBMC. We also compared the expression of AdipoR on PBMC with that on muscle and subcutaneous and visceral fat in 10 patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy.
Results: The proportion of the high molecular weight (HMW) isoform of adiponectin was increased in the dialysis group (P = 0.001), even though these patients were significantly insulin resistant compared with controls (P = 0.006). AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 on PBMC were also increased in patients with ESKD (P < 0.05 and P = 0.007, respectively), but levels did not correlate with IR, the HMW isoform or other anthropometric measurements. There was a strong correlation between AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 on PBMC in ESKD and in subcutaneous and visceral fat in controls. However, there was no relationship between AdipoR in PBMC, muscle or visceral fat. Phosphorylation of AMPK by recombinant adiponectin showed that AdipoR on PBMC, from controls and ESKD patients, were equally functional.
Conclusions: IR in ESKD is not explained by the change in isoformic distribution, or by AdipoR down-regulation or dysfunction. Rather, this receptor-ligand axis is up-regulated and may be a beneficial response to the inflammatory milieu of ESKD.

Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) as both a regulator of metabolic homeostasis and a protein involved in immune response might be of particular interest to contemporary laboratory medicine, especially in terms of minimally invasive diagnostics. The diverse roles of ADIPOQ with regard to the immune and metabolic aspects of colorectal carcinogenesis have been proposed. However, the expression of its receptors ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 is scarcely explored in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

Individuals who are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi develop chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC), which is a complication involving a series of immune pathogenetic mechanisms, although an association between immune and metabolic alterations was more recently proposed. Accordingly, we investigated the immuno-metabolic response in chagasic patients and their possible influence on CCC pathogenesis. To this end, T.

Introduction: There is evidence that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) exert beneficial effects to improve type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its complications remain poorly understood. Hypoadiponectinemia is one of the important mechanisms responsible for T2DM which necessitates developing novel therapeutic strategies. We aimed to determine the effect of n-3 PUFA supplementation on circulating adiponectin and mRNA expression of adiponectin receptors (AdipoR1, AdipoR2) and Sirt-1 in T2DM patients.
