ObjectiveTo find out the levels of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) profilin and adiponectin in obese patients complicated with or without metabolic syndrome as compared to non-obese patients.MethodsThis study was an observational analytic study using cross sectional design. After interview, the subjects were performed with a anthropometric test and then a metabolic syndrome panel. The levels of profilin and adiponectin were detected by using ELISA method.ResultsThere was a significant difference of T. gondii profilin between the obese complicated with metabolic syndrome group and the non-obese group (P = 0.00; α = 0.05), as well as the metabolically healthy obese, in which the level of profilin was significantly higher in the group as compared to the non-obese group (P = 0.001; α = 0.05). Adiponectin level of the obese complicated with metabolic syndrome group was significantly lower as compared to the metabolically healthy obese and non-obese group (P = 0.001; α = 0.05).ConclusionsThe level of T. gondii profilin in obese patients was higher than that in the non-obese, whereas the level of adiponectin in obese patients complicated with metabolic syndrome was lower than that in the obese without metabolic syndrome and non-obese patients.
