Abstract
Recent evidences suggest that adiponectin is a multifunctional hormone, inversely associated with cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides levels. Literature data are conflicting on the serum adiponectin levels in chronic hepatitis C patients. Here we analyze the interesting study of Chang and coworkers, on the dynamic relationship between adiponectin levels and insulin resistance, in chronic hepatitis C patients during viral clearance.Entities:
