Adiponectin and E-selectin concentrations in relation to inflammation in obese type 2 diabetic patients with coronary heart disease(s).

Abstract

Our study supports the hypothesis that decreased level of adipokine(s), together with increased oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory marker(s) as well as endothelial adhesion molecule(s) contributes to the complex process of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetic obese patients that may lead eventually to CHD.
