The article investigates the relationship between serum adiponectin and health outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The authors measure adiponectin levels in serum samples from subjects who are smokers with mild to moderate airflow limitation. They conclude that adiponectin is a biomarker in COPD and is associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular events and increased risk of respiratory mortality. They add that adiponectin is not influenced by smoking status. |
