The Comparison of Adiponectin Level between Metabolic Syndrome Patients and Naive Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract

Aim: To show the adiponectin concentration in metabolic syndrome which compared to naïve type 2 diabetic.Method: We conducted the adiponectin serum level cross sectionals from 16 metabolic syndrome patients (criteria from IDF 2005) and 16 naïve type 2 diabetic patients (criteria from WHO). For comparison adiponectin level between metabolic syndrome and diabetic patient were used t independent if the distribution weResults: The adiponectin serum level in metabolic syndrome patients is lower compared to naïve type 2 diabetic patients but the differences is not statistically significant (3.7413 ± 1.61 vs 4.7538 ± 2.09; p= 0.135). The adiponectin level has negative correlation with waist circumference (r= -0.373, p= 0.035), white blood cell (r= -0.39, p= 0.027) and positive correlation with HDL cholesterol (r= +0.457, p= 0.009)Conclusion: There was no significant differences of adiponectin level between metabolic syndrome and naïve type 2 diabetic, level adiponectin not only determined by blood glucose. The adiponectin serum is important marker, which can be used to measure inflammation level.
