| Popis: | Circulating adiponectin (ADPN) has been inversely associated with the risk of coronary artery disease and ischemic stroke (IS), due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic properties. Recent experimental studies have suggested that ADPN may as well exert cerebroprotective properties in brain ischemia, therefore modifying disease outcome. We investigated whether acute post-stroke ADPN in humans might be associated with disease severity, progression and outcome.Serum ADPN was measured in 82 consecutive acute IS patients. Severity at presentation and stroke progression within the first week were evaluated according to internationally agreed definitions. Disability and functional outcomes were assessed on months 1, 3 and 6 using the modified Rankin scale (mRS) and Barthel index (BI). Additional data included information on infarct size, mortality, recurrent IS and mental state.Higher ADPN was indicative of greater disability (mRS) on month 1 (OR=1·141, 95% CI=1·012-1·286, p=0·031), but this result was not replicated using the BI. ADPN was not found to be associated with either stroke severity, clinical progression, infarct size, recurrent IS, mortality, mental state, disability or functional outcome during the 6 month follow-up.Despite previous experimental evidence, serum ADPN measured shortly after an acute IS in humans does not seem to reliably predict disease severity, progression or outcome. The concept that circulating ADPN may beneficially modify long-term outcome of an acute IS may not be the case for human stroke. |
