Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a common complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Little is known about the involvement of adipokines in the pathogenesis of DVT. We evaluated whether adipokines can predict PTS. In a prospective cohort study, 320 DVT patients aged 70 years or less were enrolled. Serum adiponectin, leptin and resistin levels were measured three months since the index first-ever DVT. After 2 years' follow-up PTS was diagnosed in 83 of 309 available patients (26.9%) who had 13. ...[more]

Project description:The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent, sometimes disabling complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that reduces quality of life and is costly. This article discusses risk factors for PTS after DVT and available means to prevent and treat PTS, with a focus on new information in the field. After DVT, PTS will develop in 20% to 50% of patients, and severe PTS, including venous ulcers, will develop in 5% to 10%. The principal risk factors for PTS are anatomically extensive DVT, recurrent ipsilateral DVT, persistent leg symptoms 1 month after acute DVT, obesity, and older age. By preventing the initial DVT and ipsilateral DVT recurrence, primary and secondary prophylaxes of DVT will prevent cases of PTS. Based on recent evidence from a large multicenter trial, routine use of elastic compression stockings (ECS) after DVT to prevent PTS is not advocated, but in patients with DVT-related leg swelling that is bothersome, a trial of ECS is reasonable. Selecting DVT patients for catheter-directed thrombolytic treatment as a means of preventing PTS should be done on a case-by-case basis, with a focus on patients with extensive thrombosis, recent symptoms onset, and low bleeding risk. For patients with established PTS, daily use of ECS may help to relieve symptoms and edema. Intermittent compression devices can be tried in patients with moderate-to-severe PTS whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with ECS alone. A supervised exercise training program may improve PTS symptoms. Management of post-thrombotic ulcers should ideally involve a multidisciplinary approach. Important areas for future research are summarized.

Project description:Women who are obese at the time of breast cancer diagnosis have higher overall mortality than normal weight women and some evidence implicates adiponectin and leptin as contributing to prognostic disadvantage. While intentional weight loss is thought to improve prognosis, its impact on these adipokines is unclear. This study compared the pattern of change in plasma leptin and adiponectin in overweight-to-obese post-menopausal breast cancer survivors during weight loss. Given the controversies about what dietary pattern is most appropriate for breast cancer control and regulation of adipokine metabolism, the effect of a low fat versus a low carbohydrate pattern was evaluated using a non-randomized, controlled study design. Anthropometric data and fasted plasma were obtained monthly during the six-month weight loss intervention. While leptin was associated with fat mass, adiponectin was not, and the lack of correlation between leptin and adiponectin concentrations throughout weight loss implies independent mechanisms of regulation. The temporal pattern of change in leptin but not adiponectin was affected by magnitude of weight loss. Dietary pattern was without effect on either adipokine. Mechanisms not directly related to dietary pattern, weight loss, or fat mass appear to play dominant roles in the regulation of circulating levels of these adipokines.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To assess the variability and predictability of adiponectin, leptin, resistin and their ratios in non-obese and obese women with anovulatory polycystic ovary syndrome (aPCOS). RESULTS:A total of 52 ovulatory controls (mean age?=?31.63?±?4.88 years, BMI?=?25.33?±?2.68 kg/m2); 54 non-obese (mean age?=?32.11?±?4.25 years, BMI?=?25.72?±?2.95 kg/m2) and 50 obese women with aPCOS (mean age?=?33.64?±?4.14 years, BMI?=?39.19?±?2.99 kg/m2) were recruited. The aPCOS group had lower adiponectin [13.0 (10.49-16.59) vs 18.42 (15.72-19.92) µg/ml, p?<?0.0001], adiponectin: leptin ratio (A:L) [0.60 (0.35-0.88) vs 1.19 (0.92-1.37), p?<?0.0001], and adiponectin: resistin ratio (A:R) [0.30 (0.21-0.43) vs 0.42 (0.32-0.62), p?<?0.0001] but a higher leptin [20.02 (14.54-26.80) vs 16.17 (14.51-18.36) ng/ml, p?<?0.0001] and leptin: resistin ratio (L:R) [0.53 (0.37-0.82) vs 0.40 (0.27-0.48), p?<?0.0001] compared to the controls. The obese aPCOS group had lower adiponectin [11.04 (5.66-13.25) vs 14.18 (11.04-18.02), p?<?0.0001 and 18.42 (15.72-19.92) µg/ml, p?<?0.0001], A:L [0.36 (0.27-0.44) vs 0.78 (0.61-1.16), p?<?0.0001 and 1.19 (0.92-1.37), p?<?0.0001], and A:R [0.24 (0.17-0.38) vs 0.40 (0.23-0.58), p?<?0.0001 and 0.42 (0.32-0.62), p?<?0.0001] but a higher leptin [26.80 (14.28-32.09) vs 17.95 (14.86-21.26), p?<?0.05 and 16.17 (14.51-18.36) ng/ml, p?<?0.0001] and L:R [0.63 (0.46-1.03) vs 0.41 (0.30-0.61), p?<?0.0001 and 0.40 (0.27-0.48), p?<?0.0001] compared to the non-obese aPCOS and control group, respectively. A:L showed the best discriminatory power in predicting aPCOS (AUC?=?0.83), followed by adiponectin alone (AUC?=?0.79), L:R and leptin alone (both AUC?=?0.69). Resistin alone had the poorest discriminatory power (AUC?=?0.48).

Project description:Although the role of adiponectin and leptin in the etiology of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been explored in various populations, limited knowledge is available on the prospective association of adiponectin and leptin with the risk of MetS development. The present study aimed to evaluate the associations of adiponectin, leptin, and the leptin-adiponectin (LA) ratio with the future risk of MetS in middle-aged and older Korean adults. Using a prospective, population-based Ansan-Ansung cohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES), 2691 Korean adults (1317 men and 1374 women) were included in the present study. Serum adiponectin and leptin concentrations were measured using commonly available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate the relationships of the different adiponectin and leptin concentrations and LA ratio with the incident MetS. During a mean follow-up of 6.75 years, a total of 359 (27.26%) men and 385 (28.02%) women were identified as developing new-onset MetS. After controlling for covariates, higher adiponectin levels were associated with lower incidence of MetS (hazard ratio (HR) for third vs. first tertile: 0.53, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.40-0.70 for men and HR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.42-0.71 for women), while higher leptin levels (HR for third vs. first tertile: 2.88, 95% CI: 2.01-4.13 for men and HR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.13-2.13 for women) and LA ratio (HR for third vs. first tertile: 3.07, 95% CI: 2.13-4.44 for men and HR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.41-2.66 for women) were associated with an increased incidence of MetS. Among men, in the fully adjusted models an increase by one standard deviation (SD) in adiponectin levels was associated with a 10% decrease in MetS risk (HR per SD: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.85-0.95) while leptin and LA ratio was associated with a 5% (HR per SD: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01-1.08) and 40% (HR per SD: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.22-1.62) increase in MetS risk, respectively. Among women, a significant association with MetS risk was observed only in adiponectin levels (HR per SD: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.88-0.95). We found that higher adiponectin level was associated with a lower risk of MetS, while higher leptin level and LA ratio were associated with elevated MetS incidence, irrespective of body mass index at baseline in both Korean men and women. Adiponectin and leptin levels and LA ratio could play a role as a useful biomarker in the prediction of future MetS development among middle-aged and older Koreans.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious longitudinal studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the influence of adipokines on changes in weight and body fat. We aimed to determine the predictive value of serum leptin, adiponectin, and their ratio on subsequent changes in obesity measures in children.MethodsTwo hundred forty-six obese and 532 nonobese children aged 6-11 years were remeasured for BMI and waist circumference after 6.4 ± 0.2 years. Z-score of BMI was used to standardize for age and sex. Obesity was defined using the international BMI cutoffs. Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was calculated to define central obesity using a boundary value of 0.5. Fasting serum leptin and adiponectin levels were measured at baseline.ResultsNewly identified obese children had significantly higher levels of leptin and leptin-to-adiponectin ratio than nonobese children. There were lower adiponectin levels in boys with persistent obesity versus those with transient obesity. After adjusting for age, Tanner stage, and corresponding adiposity measures at baseline, leptin levels and leptin-to-adiponectin ratio were positively associated with BMI Z-score gain in girls and WHtR gain in boys. An inverse association between leptin and BMI Z-score gain was detected in boys. Stratified analyses revealed significant associations only in the nonobese and prepubertal group. There were no significant associations between adiponectin and changes in obesity measures.ConclusionsHigh leptin levels and leptin-to-adiponectin ratio are sex-specific predictors of obesity measures gain in nonobese and prepubertal children. Body composition measurement is necessary to assess fat mass growth and distribution during childhood and adolescence.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Adiponectin and leptin play critical roles in the development of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). This study was designed to assess the feasibility of using circulating levels of adiponectin and leptin for the early diagnosis of MetS. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was performed using data from 367 participants randomly selected from a well-characterized cohort of Mexican-Americans living at the US-Mexico border. RESULTS:Significant differences in circulating levels of adiponectin and leptin were observed between males and females. Adiponectin/leptin correlated significantly with MetS in this population. A receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated that adiponectin/leptin showed a high sensitivity (70.9% for males, 78.9% for females) and specificity (90.2% for males and 69.8% for females) for the diagnosis of MetS, independent of BMI measurements. CONCLUSION:These data support the central role of adiponectin and leptin in MetS, and demonstrated that adiponectin/leptin can be used as a highly sensitive and specific biomarker for MetS.

Project description:The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a form of chronic venous insufficiency secondary to prior deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It affects up to 50% of patients after proximal DVT. There is no effective treatment of established PTS and its management lies in its prevention after DVT. Optimal anticoagulation is key for PTS prevention. Among anticoagulants, low-molecular-weight heparins have anti-inflammatory properties, and have a particularly attractive profile. Elastic compression stockings (ECS) may be helpful for treating acute DVT symptoms but their benefits for PTS prevention are debated. Catheter-directed techniques reduce acute DVT symptoms and might reduce the risk of moderate-severe PTS in the long term in patients with ilio-femoral DVT at low risk of bleeding. Statins may decrease the risk of PTS, but current evidence is lacking. Treatment of PTS is based on the use of ECS and lifestyle measures such as leg elevation, weight loss and exercise. Venoactive medications may be helpful and research is ongoing. Interventional techniques to treat PTS should be reserved for highly selected patients with chronic iliac obstruction or greater saphenous vein reflux, but have not yet been assessed by robust clinical trials.

Project description:Obesity leads a crucial importance in metabolic disorders, as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our present study was designed to assess the potential role of irisin, adiponectin, leptin and gene polymorphism of PNPLA3, leptin and adiponectin as predictive markers of diabetes associated with obesity. One hundred eighty subjects were distributed to three groups including; healthy non-diabetic non obese volunteers as a control group, diabetic non obese group, and diabetic obese group (n = 60 for each group). Fasting blood samples of all groups were collected to determine fasting blood glucose, insulin levels, insulin resistance, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triacylglycerol, irisin, adiponectin, leptin; as well as, polymorphism of PNPLA3, adiponectin and leptin. The results showed that glucose, insulin resistance, total cholesterol, irisin, leptin, LDL-C, triacylglycerol concentrations were significantly increased, however, insulin, HDL-C, adiponectin were significantly decreased in diabetic obese patients in relation to diabetic non-obese patients as well as in healthy volunteers. The polymorphism of PNPLA3 rs738409 was linearly related to irisin and leptin but was not related with circulating concentrations of adiponectin. We concluded that increased irisin and leptin levels can predict the insulin resistance in obese patients. Moreover, patients who have mutant genotype of PNPLA3 I148 gene (rs738409) C>G, ADIPOQ gene (rs266729) G>C and LEP gene (rs2167270) G>A showed a significant higher susceptibility rate for DM in obese people than those with wild type. This could be considered as an adjustable retort to counter the impact of obesity on glucose homeostasis.

Project description:The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent, potentially disabling complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that reduces quality of life and is costly. Clinical manifestations include symptoms and signs such as leg pain and heaviness, edema, redness, telangiectasia, new varicose veins, hyperpigmentation, skin thickening and in severe cases, leg ulcers. The best way to prevent PTS is to prevent DVT with pharmacologic or mechanical thromboprophylaxis used in high risk patients and settings. In patients whose DVT is treated with a vitamin K antagonist, subtherapeutic INRs should be avoided. We do not suggest routine use of elastic compression stockings (ECS) after DVT to prevent PTS, but in patients with acute DVT-related leg swelling that is bothersome, a trial of ECS is reasonable. We suggest that selecting patients for catheter-directed thrombolytic techniques be done on a case-by-case basis, with a focus on patients with extensive thrombosis, recent symptoms onset, and low bleeding risk, who are seen at experienced hospital centers. For patients with established PTS, we suggest prescribing 20-30 mm Hg knee-length ECS to be worn daily. If ineffective, a stronger pressure stocking can be tried. We suggest that intermittent compression devices or pneumatic compression sleeve units be tried in patients with moderate-to-severe PTS whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with ECS alone. We suggest that a supervised exercise training program for 6 months or more is reasonable for PTS patients who can tolerate it. We suggest that management of post-thrombotic ulcers should involve a multidisciplinary approach. We briefly discuss upper extremity PTS and PTS in children.
