Adiponectin (ADPN), resistin (RSN) and leptin are proteins that affect insulin resistance and atherosclerosis significantly. Although low levels of adiponectin and high levels of resistin and leptin are associated with coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease risk factors, it is unclear whether adiponectin, resistin and leptin levels are related to the risk of developing ischemic stroke. The aim of the study was to evaluate the adiponectin, resistin and leptin serum l...
