Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the relationship between levels of adiponectin and vaspin, adiponectin/vaspin (A/V) ratio and metabolic syndrome, degree of adiposity, and insulin resistance (IR), as well as their correlation with metabolic variables.Methods: Two hundred sixty patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (126 male, 134 female) were enrolled. Patients were grouped based on degree of adiposity, IR assessment (homeostasis m...

Objective: Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure may promote obesity, but its effect on bone mineral density (BMD) has not been reported in humans. In the present study, we aimed to examine the complex interplay between BPA exposure, fat mass, fat-free mass, serum estradiol, leptin, osteocalcin levels and BMDs in a group of premenopausal women.Methods: A total of 246 Chinese premenopausal women aged 20 years and older with regular menstrual cycles were investigated...
