Abstract
Adiponectin (ADP) is an adipocytokin with many antiatherogenic properties; its decreased level is associated with numerous atherogenic diseases and syndromes (e.g. diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, and obesity). Decreased ADP values in blood may be an independent risk factor of atherosclerotic (ATS) complications. 1) Do persons with type 2 diabetes have lower ADP values than individuals without DM but with a high risk of ATS complications? 2) Do ADP values differ between persons with well controlled and persons with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes? We examined 109 patients of the Metabolic Center of Hospital Sternberk. Out of them, 58 had type 2 diabetes, others were individuals with variously expressed risk factors of early atherosclerosis (obesity, hypertension, age, family history, smoking, dyslipidemia, etc.). In all persons under this study the following parameters were determined in peripheral venous blood: adiponectin, resistin, leptin, ObRe, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, glucose, HbA1c, creatinine, urea, ALT, AST, CRP, homocysteine, thrombocyte aggregation after CPG induction. The whole group was divided according to the presence of type 2DM into two subgroups; persons with diabetes were divided into the well controlled and uncontrolled subgroups. All data obtained were processed statistically using the software SPSS for Windows and Medcalc. The adiponectin/BMI index correlated negatively with HbA1c value (correlation coefficient -0.37, p = 0.00053), triacylglycerols (-0.4, p = 0.000001), P-glucose (-0.3, p = 0.0017), uricemia (-0.35, p = 0.0007) and positively with HDL-cholesterol value (0.6, p=0.00001). Women had higher adiponectin values than men. Persons with hypertension and with diabetes mellitus, individuals with atherogenic lipotype or persons with inflammation signs had lower values than individuals without these diseases and syndromes. Persons with wellcontrolled diabetes mellitus had higher values than persons with uncontrolled diabetes (medians of the adiponectin/BMI index 9.7 vs. 6.7, p < 0.01). Persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus have lower ADP values than persons with a high ATS risk without diabetes mellitus. Persons with wellcontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM) and with satisfactory compensation have significantly higher ADP levels (independently of other metabolic parameters of DM control). ADP may be a new marker of metabolic control in persons with a high risk of atherosclerotic complications.

Adiponectin is an adipocytokin with numerous antiatherogenic properties
The results obtained in the present study indicate that adiponectin is a direct link between obesity and coronary heart disease (CHD) origin; its anti-inflammatory effect was proved as well as its positive effect on metabolism with regard to prevention of atherogenesis[13]
On the basis of several recent papers reporting on direct relation between coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus (DM) and adiponectin we focused on the following aspects:
Summary
Adiponectin is an adipocytokin with numerous antiatherogenic properties. Its antiatherogenic effect is mediated through its binding ability to collagen and antiinflammatory influence.The results obtained in the present study indicate that adiponectin is a direct link between obesity and coronary heart disease (CHD) origin; its anti-inflammatory effect was proved as well as its positive effect on metabolism with regard to prevention of atherogenesis[13].On the basis of several recent papers reporting on direct relation between coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus (DM) and adiponectin we focused on the following aspects:– Do persons with type 2 DM have lower adiponectin levels than persons with a high risk of atherosclerotic complications without DM?– Do adiponectin levels differ in type 2 DM with wellcontrolled from those in uncontrolled persons with type 2 DM?.
