Correlation analysis of obesity phenotypes with leptin and adiponectin.

Obesity can be categorized as metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO). However, individuals with MHO are characterized by the absence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and appear to have lower inflammation levels compared to MUO. This study aimed to investigate the association of obesity phenotypes with leptin (LEP) and adiponectin (ADP). According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected 178 subjects from the previous cross-sectional survey. Based on the body mass index (BMI) and diagnostic criteria of MS, we divided the individuals into three groups, including healthy control group (HC group), metabolically healthy obesity group (MHO group) and metabolically unhealthy obesity group (MUO group). The concentrations of LEP and ADP in serum were measured, and the association of these two cytokines with different obesity phenotypes were subsequently analyzed. Compared to both the HC and MHO groups, the MUO group showed significantly higher BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (Homa-IR) and blood pressure (P < 0.05). In contrast, serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was notably lower in the MUO group (P < 0.05). ADP was found to have a positive correlation with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and a negative correlation with FPG in the MHO group. In the MUO group, LEP demonstrated a positive correlation with fasting insulin (FINS) and Homa-IR, while ADP showed a positive correlation with TC and SBP. Linear regression analysis further indicated that SBP (ß = 0.234, P = 0.043), TG (ß = - 0.292, P = 0.001) and LDL-C (ß = 0.626, P = 0.000) were independently correlated with ADP, and BMI (ß = 0.398, P = 0.002) was independently correlated with LEP in obese individuals. In conclusion, ADP and LEP were closely related with glucose and lipid metabolism in obese individuals, these two cytokines might play critical roles in obesity-associated metabolic disorders.

Dietary inflammatory index and its association with leptin and adiponectin in uygur overweight/obese adults / Índice de inflamación de la dieta y su relación con la leptina y la adiponectina en adultos de Uygur con sobrepeso/obesidad

Introduction: chronic inflammation contributes to a wide range of metabolic disorders through the influence of diet. The dietary inflammatory index (DII) was developed to measure the inflammation potential of diet. Objectives: Uygur adults have a high prevalence of obesity, but the causes of this condition remain unclear. In this study we investigated the association between DII and adipocytokines among overweight and obese Uygur adults. Methods: a total of 283 obese and overweight Uygur adults were included. Sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, dietary surveys and biochemical indicators were collected by standardized protocols. The DII score was calculated using a valid and reliable 93-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Linear regression was used to estimate the relationship between DII and adipocytokines. Results: the DII score was 1.35 ± 1.08, ranging from -2.14 to +3.11. There was a significant inverse correlation between DII and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the unadjusted model (β = -0.12, SE = 0.05, p = 0.02), and this remained after adjustment for age, gender, body mass index (BMI). DII was negatively associated with adiponectin (ADPN) ( = -203.15, p = 0.04) and positively associated with leptin (LEP) concentration ( = 1.64, p = 0.002) after adjustment for age, gender and BMI. Conclusion: a pro-inflammatory diet, as indicated by a higher DII score, is associated with adipose tissue inflammation in Uygur adults and supports the hypothesis that diet may play a role in the development of obesity through inflammatory modulation mechanisms. A healthy anti-inflammatory diet is feasible for obesity intervention in the future.(AU)

El índice de inflamación dietética(DII) se estableció para medir el potencial inflamatorio de la dieta.Objetivo: los adultos de Uygur presentan una alta prevalencia de obesidad, pero las causas de esta condición aún no están claras. En el presenteestudio se investigó la relación entre DII y adipocitocinas en adultos uigur con sobrepeso y obesidad.Métodos: se incluyeron 283 adultos de Uygur obesos y con sobrepeso. Las características sociodemográficas, antropométricas, dietéticas ybioquímicas se recogieron mediante un protocolo estandarizado. El índice DII se calculó utilizando un cuestionario de frecuencia alimentaria (FFQ)válido y fiable de 93 elementos. Se realizó una regresión lineal para estimar la relación entre DII y adipocitocinas.Resultados: la puntuación DII fue de 1,35 ± 1,08 y osciló entre -2,14 y +3,11. En el modelo no ajustado hubo una correlación negativa signi-ficativa entre DII y colesterol lipoproteínico de alta densidad (HDL-C) (β = -0,12, p = 0,02) que permaneció después de ajustar la edad, el sexoy el índice de masa corporal (IMC). Después de ajustar la edad, el sexo y el IMC, el DII se correlacionó negativamente con la concentración deadiponectina (β = - 203,15, p = 0,04) y positivamente con la concentración de leptina (β = 1,64, p = 0002).Conclusión: las puntuaciones más altas de DII sugieren que la dieta proinflamatoria está relacionada con la inflamación del tejido adiposo enlos adultos de Uygur, y apoyan la hipótesis de que la dieta puede desempeñar un papel en el desarrollo de la obesidad a través del mecanismode regulación de la inflamación. La dieta antiinflamatoria saludable es factible para futuras intervenciones de obesidad.(AU)
