Serum Adiponectin Levels in Acute Ischemic Stroke and It's Probable Role on Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

Objective: We aimed to evaluate serum levels of adiponectin in the different groups of patients with ischemic stroke and healthy control subjects. Material and Methods: 50 patients with acute ischemic stroke and 30 healthy controls were included in this study. Serum levels of adiponectin were compared with respect to the diabetics and nondiabetics and also were compared according to TOAST (Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) criteria in the patients with stroke. Results: Serum adiponectin levels were not significantly different between the stroke patients and healthy groups and also between the stroke subgroups (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between diabetic and non-diabetic stroke patients (p>0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that serum adiponectin levels in the patients with acute ischemic stroke do not show a statistically significant difference when compared to healthy controls. We conclude from our data that serum adiponectin levels have no important effect on the ischemic stroke.

Akut İskemik İnmede Serum Adiponektin Düzeyi ve İskemik İnme Oluşumunda Muhtemel Rolü

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada amacımız iskemik inmeli hastaların farklı gruplarında ve sağlıklı bireylerde serum adiponektin düzeylerini karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya akut iskemik inmeli 50 hasta ve sağlıklı 30 gönüllü birey alındı. Adiponektin düzeyleri inmeli hastalarda diabetik ve non-diabetik olmalarına göre ve TOAST (Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) kriterlerine göre alt gruplara ayrıldıktan sonra karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: İnmeli hasta grubuyla kontrol grubunun serum adiponektin düzeyleri arasında ve ayrıca hasta grubunu oluşturan alt grupların serum adiponektin düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktu (p>0.05). Yine inmeli hasta grubunda diabetik ve non-diabetik hastalarda adiponektin düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktu (p>0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonuçları adiponektinin akut iskemik inmeli hastalarda ki serum düzeylerinin normal kontrollere göre farklı olmadığını gösterdi. Bu verilere göre iskemik inme de adiponektin molekülünün etkili bir rol almadığını düşünüyoruz.
