УРОВЕНЬ ОБЩЕГО И ВЫСОКОМОЛЕКУЛЯРНОГО АДИПОНЕКТИНА У ЖЕНЩИН С АБДОМИНАЛЬНЫМ ОЖИРЕНИЕМ И АРТЕРИАЛЬНОЙ ГИПЕРТЕНЗИЕЙ

Abstract

Objective. To assess total and high-molecular weight adiponectin (AN) and (HMWAN) level in women with abdominal obesity (AO) and arterial hypertension (HTN) — citizens of St Petersburg aged 30–55 years old. Design and mеthods. We examined 94 women with AO (IDF, 2005), mean age 45,3 ± 0,1 years. Compari-son group included 16 healthy women without АО. The levels of AN, HMWAN and insulin were determined by ELISA method (DRG, USA). Serum lipids were determined by enzymatic method (COBAS INTEGRA 400/700/800, Germany). The homeostasis model was used to assess the insulin resistance HOMA-IR. Results. HTN was diagnosed in 48,4 % women with АО (IDF, 2005). The level of total and high-molecular weight adiponectin was lower in subjects with АО compared to the healthy women (р 0,05). However, the HMWAN level was lower in hypertensive subjects with АО compared to the normotensive women (р < 0,01). The highest insulin level and НОМА-IR were found in hypertensive women with АО and the lowest level of total AN (1st tertil). At the same time women with the lowest HMWAN concentration (1st tertil) had the highest levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), waist circumference, insulin, glucose, triglycerides and НОМА-IR. Linear regression analysis confirmed the correlation between the levels of HMWAN and BP (β = –0,21, р = 0,03). Conclusions. The high-molecular weight adiponectin level is lower in women with AO and HTN compared to the normotensive subjects with AO. Low level of high-molecular weight adiponectin might be considered a factor for HTN development in women with AO.
