Comparative Assessment of Serum Adipokines Zinc- α2-glycoprotein and Adipose Triglyceride Lipase and Cardiovascular Risk Factors Between Normal Weight and Obese Patients with Hemodialysis
Little is known about the potential relationship of obesity, adipose tissue and novel adipokines with cardiometabolic risk factors in end-stage renal disease. Zinc- α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) and adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) are novel adipokines with proposed desirable effects on inflammation, and lipid and glucose metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate serum concentrations of ZAG and ATGL, and the relationship of these adipokines with cardiovas cular risk factors in normal weight (NW) and obese (OB) patients undergoing hemodialysis.
