Introduction: Effect of GH deficiency on the endocrine function of adipose tissue (AT) is poorly understood. Data on serum adiponectin (ADIPO) concentrations in patients with GH deficiency (GHD) are scarse.The aim of the study was the assessment of ADIPO serum concentrations in adolescents and young adults with GHD and evaluation of their correlations with the degree of GH/IGF1 axis function impairment as well as anthropometric and body composition param...

Introduction: Production of chemerin (CHEM), omentin-1 (OMENT), and vaspin (VASP) in adipose tissue is determined by nutritional status. There is no data on CHEM, OMENT and VASP blood serum concentrations in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN).Objectives: i) Assessment of CHEM, OMENT and VASP serum concentrations in girls with AN. ii) Analysis of correlations between the CHEM, OMENT, and VASP serum concentrations and body weight, BMI, serum insulin (INS)...
