Abstract
BACKGROUND: Information on the associations between metal exposures and adipokines in human populations is limited and results are inconsistent. We evaluated the associations between metals and adipokines. METHODS: Urinary concentrations of 15 metals (arsenic, barium, cadmium, cobalt, cesium, copper, mercury, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, lead, antimony, tin, thallium, and zinc) were measured in 1999-2000 among 1228 women of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation Multi-Pollutant Study. Serum adipokines including high molecular weight (HMW)-adiponectin, leptin, and soluble leptin receptor (sOB-R) were measured at the follow-up visit (2002-2003). Linear regression models with adaptive elastic-net (AENET) were fit to identify metals associated with adipokines and to compute estimated percent changes in adipokines for one standard deviation increase in log-transformed urinary metal concentrations. RESULTS: After adjustment for confounders, urinary molybdenum was associated with a 5.54% higher level (95% CI: 1.36%, 9.90%), whereas cadmium was associated with a 4.53% lower level (95% CI: -8.17%, -0.76%) of HMW-adiponectin. Urinary molybdenum was also associated with a 5.95% lower leptin level (95% CI: -10.15%, -1.56%) and a 2.98% (95% CI: 0.69%, 5.32%) higher sOB-R level. Urinary cesium and lead were associated with a 3.58% (95% CI: -6.06%, -1.03%) and a 2.53% (95% CI: -4.80%, -0.21%) lower level of sOB-R, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that molybdenum was associated with favorable profiles of HMW-adiponectin, leptin, and sOB-R. Exposures to cadmium, cesium, and lead were associated with adverse adipokine profiles.
