Background Adiponectin (APM1), a protein produced in adipose tissue, takes part in pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Studies have proved also the role of APM1 in atherogenesis. Antiatherogenic properties of APM1 are associated with inhibitory effect of APM1 on adhesion molecules: VCAM-1, E-selectin, ICAM-1. APM1 increases also endothelial production of nitric oxide and inhibits proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Plasma adiponectin concentrations were significantly lower in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) than those in age- and body mass index-adjusted control subjects. Material and methods The study included 35 patients with CAD (age 56.3 ± 10.1, BMI 27.2 ± 4.3, WHR 0.95 ± ± 0.07). All s...
