Adiponectin/leptin ratio predicts the remission of metabolic syndrome: A pilot study
Adipokines are key mediators of inflammation in metabolic syndrome perpetuating the effect of excess nutrient intake by setting a self-maintaining vicious circle. Here, we assess levels of adiponectin and leptin in a cohort of individuals with MetS undergoing dietary and behavioral counselling. Specifically, we investigate their role as predictors of metabolic syndrome remission after 1 year.
