Abstract
Adiponectin is elevated in chronic liver disease and correlates with inflammation and liver damage. High adiponectin levels after bile duct ligation in mice and in human bile from cholestatic patients suggest that biliary secretion is involved in adiponectin clearance and that adiponectin could serve as a novel marker indicating cholestasis in liver cirrhosis.
