Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum adiponectin level and new-onset hypertension, and the relative contribution of obesity and low serum adiponectin levels to the development of hypertension in normotensive men and women.
Methods: We analyzed 1553 adults (584 men and 969 women) without hypertension, aged 40-70 years, who had participated in a cohort study in both time periods from 2005 to 2008 for baseline and 2008 to 2011 for follow-up. We divided participants into sex-specific tertiles according to serum adiponectin levels. We defined the highest tertile of serum adiponectin as 'high adiponectin'. Participants were then stratified into four groups: the non-obese with high adiponectin; the non-obese with low adiponectin; the obese with high adiponectin; and the obese with low adiponectin.
Results: During an average of 2.6 years of follow-up, 79 men (13.5%) and 99 women (10.2%) developed hypertension. Low serum adiponectin level was an independent predictor of new-onset hypertension in men (Odds Ratio[OR]: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.03-3.86). The Obese men with low adiponectin had an increased risk of new-onset hypertension compared with the control group (OR: 2.80; 95% CI: 1.35-5.81). In postmenopausal women, the obese subjects with low adiponectin had an increased risk of new-onset hypertension compared with the control group (OR: 2.41; 95% CI 1.16-5.04).
Conclusion: Low serum adiponectin levels were associated with an increased risk of new-onset hypertension in men and postmenopausal women.

Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer, with chemotherapy as its major therapy. Nutritional status (NS) and adipokines implicated in CRC. We explored the impacts of NS indicators (hemoglobin, albumin, and prealbumin) and serum adipokine (visfatin, adiponectin, and resistin) level on chemotherapy efficacy in late-stage CRC patients.

Blood carries some of the most valuable biomarkers for disease screening as it interacts with various tissues and organs in the body. Human blood serum is a reservoir of high molecular weight fraction (HMWF) and low molecular weight fraction (LMWF) proteins. The LMWF proteins are considered disease marker proteins and are often suppressed by HMWF proteins during analysis.

Background: Childhood obesity is a major public health concern, being linked to an increased risk of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease. Even in childhood, obesity is associated with systemic low-grade inflammation, which is a critical factor in the development of atherosclerosis and a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Objectives: To describe the prevalence of obesity and examine the relationship between IL-6, TNF-α, adiponectin, leptin, the leptin/adiponectin (L/A) ratio, and Klotho levels with BMI in children.

Objective: The role of adiponectin (APN) in regulating inflammation is well recognized in metabolic disease, but the dysregulation of APN in lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) remains controversial. We aimed to measure APN and its signaling receptors, adiponectin receptor (AdipoR), in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from LRTI patients to explore their potential roles in the LRTI process.
Methods: A total of 99 LRTI patients from the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were categorized into acute (n=35) and non-acute (n=64), and non-severe (n=62) and severe (n=37) groups.

Objective: Circadian rhythms of metabolic, hormonal, and behavioral fluctuations and their alterations can impact health. An important gap in knowledge in the field is whether the time of the day of exercise and the age of onset of exercise exert distinct effects at the level of whole-body adipose tissue and body composition. The goal of the present study was to determine how exercise at different times of the day during adolescence impacts the adipose tissue transcriptome and content in a rodent model.
