Serum Adiponectin and Vaspin Levels in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Adiponectin and vaspin levels are higher in RA but associated with neither HOMA-IR index nor IMT. Adiponectin is related with disease activity remarks in RA and BD. Therefore, it may be suggested that adiponectin may be involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses in inflammatory diseases. Moreover, in contrast to in RA, vaspin level declines in active BD, and these results suggest that different chronic inflammatory diseases exert different influences on either adipokines.
