Levels of adiponectin expression in peri-renal and subcutaneous adipose tissue and its determinants in human biopsied samples

Conclusion: This study evaluated levels of adiponectin expression in RAT and SAT and its determinants in patients underwent urological operation. Levels of adiponectin mRNA in RAT were negatively correlated with remote fat mass in SAT and VAT, but also negatively with local fat mass in RAT. While, level of adiponectin in SAT was not correlated with RAT volume. Further studies are warranted to evaluate roles of peri-renal fat mass accumulation and its pathophysiological machineries.
