Popis: Adenovirus 36 (Ad-36) has recently been suggested as a possible contributor to the current obesity epidemic. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Ad-36 antibodies in obese children, as well as investigate the role of serum leptin and lipid levels in Ad-36-obesity. Seventy-one obese children and 62 non-obese children were included as the patient group (PG), including the healthy control group (HCG), respectively. Simultaneously, Ad-36 antibodies and adipokine levels were assessed with serum neutralization assays (SNA) and ELISA. Ad-36 antibody was detected in 9 patients (12.7%) and 1 patient (1.6%) in both the PG and HCG, respectively, while a significant difference was detected between groups (p
