ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the levels of serum, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), and salivary adipokines and their possible relationship with periodontitis and obesity. An electronic search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed/ Medline, Scopus, and EBSCOhost through February 2023. Two independent reviewers screened the titles, abstracts, and full text of all the studies. Studies comparing the levels of adipokines in GCF, serum, and/or saliva in subjects with obesity and periodontitis (group 1), subjects with normal weight and periodontitis (group 2), and subjects with obesity and gingival health (group 3) were included. Meta-analyses and meta-regression were performed on the data from included studies. Seventeen studies with study participants ranging from 30 to 120 were included with subjects in each group ranging from 10 to 40. There was a significant increase in levels of serum TNF-α, leptin, IL-6, and CRP between groups 1 and 2 (p < .05). In GCF, TNF-α and resistin levels were significantly higher (p < .05) in Group 1 vs. 2. Serum level of leptin was higher for group 1 vs. 3 (p < .05). Meta-regression analysis revealed that the obesity definition (body mass index (BMI) cut-off value >25 or >30) was significant for serum resistin (p < .05) and GCF resistin (p < .05) between group 1 and 2. The current analysis indicates that both periodontitis and obesity can modulate the pro-inflammatory cytokines at systemic and local levels. This bidirectional interaction of periodontitis and obesity via the inflammation pathway seems likely plausible. Further studies are required to elucidate this mechanism in more detail.

Background:The evidence that cardiovascular disease begins in childhood and adolescence, especially in the presence of excess weight, is associated with dysfunction on adipokine pro-inflammatory secretion. These affect glucose metabolism and lead to other complications related to insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. This study assessed the association of anthropometric and metabolic parameters related to obesity, cardiovascular risk,and insulin resistance with concentrations of resistin and visfatin, in children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was developed with 178 children of 610 years old enrolled in public city schools. Anthropometric data, composition body, clinical, and biochemical were measured according to standard procedures. We used multiple regression models by stepwise method to evaluate the associations of resistin and visfatin with variables of interest.RESULTS: In healthy weight children, resistin was associated with LDL cholesterol, visfatin, atherogenic index, andwaist-to-height ratio, whereas in obese children resistin was associated with visfatin and interaction between conicity index and HOMA-AD. Furthermore, in healthy weight children, visfatin was associated to resistin and triceps skinfold thickness and negatively associated to HOMA-AD, while in obese ones visfatin was associated with waist-to-height ratio, atherogenic index, resistin, and interaction between trunk adiposity index and adiponectin and wasnegatively associated with the HOMA-IR index.CONCLUSIONS:Our study shows an association between anthropometric and biochemical variables related tovisceral fat and inflammation. These results suggest the resistin and visfatin as good pro-inflammatory markers. In addition, both adipokines are strongly related to central obesity, in children. In addition, both adipokines are strongly related to central obesity, in children.

El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar los niveles de resistina sérica y su asociación con la proteína C reactiva (PCR-hs), óxido nítrico (NO) y lípidos plasmáticos (LP) en sujetos de edad pediátrica. Participaron 366 niños y adolescentes (10-16 años), agrupados en eutróficos (n=162) y obesos (n=204). Se les estudió peso, talla, circunferencia de la cintura, resistina sérica, glucosa e insulina basal, LP, NO, PCR-hs, malondialdehído y tensión arterial. Se calculó el IMC, el índice cintura-talla (IC/T) y el HOMA-IR. Se utilizaron las pruebas t de Student, ANOVA, U de Mann y Whitney o Kruskal- Wallis para comparar entre grupos y la correlación de Spearman para determinar asociación entre variables. Los obesos masculinos presentaron niveles superiores de resistina (p<0,05). El género femenino presentó valores más altos de resistina en eutróficos (p=0,012) y con IC/T normal (p=0,011). A mayor concentración de resistina los eutróficos presentaron niveles más altos de triacilglicéridos, pero los obesos mostraron niveles más bajos de triacilglicéridos, HDLc y NO, más altos de PCR-hs y mayor IMC. Los resultados sugieren que la resistina podría ser un factor de riesgo para la enfermedad cardiovascular por su asociación positiva con la PCR-hs e inversa con el NO y la HDLc, parámetros involucrados en la inflamación y la disfunción endotelial.
The aim of this study was to evaluate seric levels of resitin and their association with high-sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), nitric oxide (NO) and plasmatic lipids (PL) in a pediatric age population. A total of 366 children and adolescents (between 10-16 years old) participated, and were grouped into eutrophic (n=162) and obese (n=204). Weight, height, waist circumference, resistin, fasting blood glucose and insulin levels, PL, hs-CRP, NO, malondialdehyde and blood pressure were measured. BMI, waist to height ratio (W/HR) and HOMA-IR were calculated. T-student, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U-value or Kruskal-Wallis were used to compare between groups and Spearman correlation was used to determine association among variables. Male obese subjects showed higher resistin levels (p<0.05). Female subjects showed higher resistin values in the eutrophic group (p=0.012) and in the normal W/HR (p=0.011). At higher levels of resistin, the eutrophic group showed higher levels of triacylglycerides, but the obese group showed lower triacylglycerides, HDLc and NO levels and higher hs-CRP levels and BMI. These results suggest that resistin could be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease because of its positive association with hs-CRP and inverse association with NO and HDLc, parameters involved in inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.

O estudo envolveu 366 crianças e adolescentes (10-16 anos), agrupados em eutróficos (n=162) e obesos (n=204). Os sujeitos foram estudados em relação ao peso, altura, circunferência da cintura, resistina sérica, glicose e insulina basal, LP, NO, PCR-hs, malondialdeído e pressão arterial. Os IMC, índice cintura-altura (IC/A) e HOMA-IR foram calculados. Foram utilizados os Testes t de Student, ANOVA, U de Mann e Whitney ou Kruskal-Wallis para comparar entre os grupos e a correlação de Spearman para verificar a associação entre variáveis. Os obesos masculinos mostraram níveis mais elevados de resistina (p<0,05). O sexo feminino apresentou valores mais altos de resistina em eutróficos (p=0,012) e com IC/T normal (p=0,011). À maior concentração de resistina, os eutróficos apresentaram maiores níveis de triacilglicerídeos, mas os obesos apresentaram níveis mais baixos de triacilglicerídeos, HDLc e NO, mais altos de PCR-hs e maior IMC. Os resultados sugerem que a resistina poderia ser um fator de risco para a doença cardiovascular devido à sua associação positiva com a PCR-hs e inversa com o NO e a HDLc, parâmetros envolvidos na inflamação e disfunção endotelial.

A expressão de RNAm para leptina, receptor de leptina (obRb), adiponectina, receptor de adiponectina (AdipoR1) e resistina foi avaliada por meio da técnica de PCR em tempo real, em tecidos ovariano, hipofisário, adiposo do omento e da região perirrenal, em ovelhas alimentadas sem farelo de mamona ou com farelo de mamona detoxificada durante 14 meses. O tipo de dieta não afetou os níveis de RNAm para leptina, obRb, adiponectina, AdipoR1 e resistina nos diferentes tecidos avaliados (P>0,05). Nos tecidos ovariano e hipofisário, não foi verificada a expressão da adiponecina e da resistina, respectivamente. Como consequência, pode-se concluir que o farelo de mamona detoxificada pode ser utilizado como fonte proteica na dieta de ovelhas, sem afetar a expressão do gene resistina e dos genes leptina e adiponectina, bem como de seus receptores...
The expression of leptin, leptin receptor (obRb), adiponectin, adiponectin receptor (AdipoR1) and resistin was assessed by real-time PCR technique in ovarian, pituitary, and the omental adipose perirenal tissue in sheep feed without castor meal or with detoxified castor meal. The type of diet did not affect mRNA levels for leptin, obRb, adiponectin, resistin AdipoR1 evaluated in different tissues (P>0.05). However, in pituitary and ovarian tissues there was no expression of resistin and adiponectin, respectively. The detoxified castor meal can be used in sheep diets as alternative food protein without affecting the expression of leptin and adponectin as well as their receptors and resistin...
