Role of Adiponectin in menopausal women

A
dipogenesis refers to the differentiation of pre-adipocytes into mature fat cells, i.e. the development of adipose tissue, which varies
according to sex and age. Adipocytes differentiate from stellate or fusiform precursor cells of mesenchymal origin. Adiponectin
has been postulated to act an important role in the modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism in insulin-sensitive tissue in both
humans and animals. The transition from pre to post menopause is associated with the emergency of many features of metabolic
state. The intraabdominal body fat increases, low density lipoprotein and triglyceride levels increase while high density lipoprotein
decreases. As the results, to date are conflicting. In our study, we aimed to study the changes in adiponectin and anthropometric
parameters after menopause. For this purpose, the ELISA methods were used in the study to evaluate the values of adiponectin. A
total of 70 female in menopause and 90 control subjects were included in this study. The results showed that adiponectin, BMI and
blood pressure increased with menopause and in order to investigate the effect of menopause on these parameters, further work must
be carried out in the near future.
