Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is elevated in decompensated systolic and diastolic heart failure. The plasma levels of adipokines, such as adiponectin and leptin, may provide evidence for mechanistic differences in BNP concentrations. African-American-specific associations are limited in the literature. The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations of adiponectin and leptin with BNP among African Americans.
Methods: Linear and logistic regressions were used to test the associations between adiponectin, leptin, and plasma BNP in 3738 participants of the Jackson Heart Study (JHS), a single-site prospective cohort study of African Americans in Jackson, Mississippi.
Results: A direct relationship of adiponectin was observed in multiple multivariate-adjusted linear models: in men ( = 0.41-0.47), and in women ( = 0.32-0.38). Those in the highest quartile of adiponectin expression were twice as likely to have elevated BNP levels after adjustment [odds ratio 2.66 (95% confidence interval, 1.66-4.34)]. An inverse relationship of leptin with BNP was observed ( = -0.15) but attenuated after adjustment for aldosterone, renin, and adiponectin.
Conclusions: Different linear associations of adiponectin and leptin with BNP were observed. Odds of elevated adiponectin were observed with elevated BNP in multivariate-adjusted models. This paradoxical relationship of adiponectin and plasma BNP is possibly explained through adiponectin resistance.

: Postmenopausal conditions can lead to metabolic disorders such as obesity and steatosis. (PT), a prominent traditional Chinese medicine, exerts potential therapeutic effects against hepatic injury. Nevertheless, the extent to which PT ameliorates liver damage resulting from estrogen deficiency, along with the associated mechanisms, remains poorly understood.

Adipokines, including C1q/tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related proteins (CTRPs), adiponectin, TNF-α, and leptin, are crucial bioactive molecules that are secreted by adipose tissue and circulate in the bloodstream. To date, 15 members of the CTRP family, which are collectively classified as part of the C1q/TNF superfamily, have been identified. Among these, CTRP3 stands out as a unique adipokine because of its distinct structural and functional properties.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the anti-obesity, hepatic protective, and metabolic effects of Sidr and Talh honey, two Saudi honey, in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD) and examined some possible mechanisms of their action.
Methods: Adult rats were divided into eight groups ( = 8 each) and were administered HFD for 12 weeks, with or without oral doses of Sidr or Talh honey at 500, 700, and 1,000 mg/kg.
Results And Discussion: Talh honey significantly reduced body weight, fat mass, and adiposity markers, including mesenteric, subcutaneous, and epididymal fat, compared to the HFD group.

Background: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, isocitrate dehydrogenase enzyme (IDH)1 and IDH2, are crucial to normal glucose and lipid metabolism and to oxidative species handling. This study aimed to assess the probability of utilizing NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases deficiency as a biomarker of the progression of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) to metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Methods: The study enrolled 120 participants.
