Amaç: Obezite, sağlığı olumsuz etkileyebilecek düzeyde biriken aşırı vücut yağının neden olduğu tıbbi bir durumdur. Değişen glikoz ve lipid metabolizması, düşük dereceli kronik inflamasyon, obezite ve obezite ile ilişkili metabolik disfonksiyonun patogenezinde rol oynar. Çalışmamızda obez hastalarda ve sağlıklı kontrol gruplarında apelin, kinurenin, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α serum protein düzeylerini belirlemeyi ve klinik parametreler ile arasındaki olası ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçladık.
Gereç ve yöntem: Serum/plazma örneklerindeki apelin, kinurenin, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α seviyeleri, enzim bağlantılı immunosorbent testi ile ölçüldü. Numunelerin absorbansı, 450 nm dalga boyunda spektrofotometrik olarak bir mikroplaka okuyucu ile belirlendi.
Bulgular: Kontrol grubunun serumlarındaki Kinurenin, IL-4 ve IL-12 düzeylerinin obez hastalara oranla anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (sırasıyla p=0.009, p=0,004, p=0,002). TNF-α, IL-10 ve apelin düzeyleri değerlendirildiğinde ise obez hastalar ve kontrol grubu arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı tespit edilmiştir (sırasıyla p=0,277, p=0,711, p=0,472).
Sonuç: Enflamasyon ve değişmiş bağışıklık yanıtı obezitenin iki önemli bileşenidir. Bu bileşenler obeziteye bağlı metabolik hastalıkların oluşumunda önemli rol oynamaktadırlar. Adipokin düzeylerindeki değişiklikler, obezitede sistemik inflamasyonun gelişimine ve insülin direncinin sürdülmesine yol açabilir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, kinurenin, IL-4 ve IL-12'nin obezitede karmaşık bir role sahip olduğunu ve terapötik hedefler olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.

Investigation of the possible relation of apelin, kynurenine and IL-4/IL-10/IL-12/ Tnf-α levels with clinical and metabolic parameters in obesity

Öz

Purpose: Obesity is a medical condition caused by excess body fat that accumulates at a level that can have a detrimental impact on health. Altered glucose and lipid metabolism, low-grade chronic inflammation controbutes to the pathogenesis of obesity and obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. In our study, we purposed to specify the apelin, kynurenine, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α protein levels in obese individuals and healthy control groups, and to research the possible relationship between clinical parameters with the data to be obtained.
Materials and methods: The levels of apelin, kynurenine, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α in serum/plasma samples were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Absorbance of the samples were measured on a microplate reader spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm.
Results: The levels of kynurenine, IL-4, and IL-12 in the serum were higher in control group than in obese patients (p=0.009, p=0.004, p=0.002, respectively). The levels of TNF- α, IL-10, and apelin did not differ substantially between the obese patients and the control group (p=0.277, p=0.711, p=0.472, respectively).
Conclusion: Inflammation and altered immune response are two important components of obesity. They play a significant part in the emergence of obesity-related metabolic disorders. Alterations in adipokine levels may lead to the occurence and maintenance of insulin resistance and systemic inflammation in obesity. The results demonstrate that kynurenine, IL-4, and IL-12 have a complex role in obesity and can be used as therapeutic targets.
