Abstract

Adiponectin is a cytokine produced by the adipose tissue. This collagen-like protein has 244-amino acid and its concentration in plasma of healthy individuals is 5-40 μg/mL. In fact, adiponectin comprises 1% of the total serum protein. Although, adiponectin has anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects in physiological conditions and plays a key role in lipid and glucose metabolism and energy balance as well. However, in patients with end-stage renal disease, it is not a protector due to the changes in the structure and function, and also is considered as a risk factor. So with regard to the prevalence of atherosclerosis in patients with end stage renal disease, adiponectin may be a marker for indentifying the cardiovascular involvement of these patients. © 2017, Semnan University of Medical Sciences.
