Abstract:
BackgroundLeptin is a mediator of long-term regulation of energy balance, suppressing food intake and therebyinducing weight loss.GoalThe main goal of our study was the analyzing of serum leptin level in correlation with some influencingfactors in adults with metabolic syndrome.Materials and MethodsWe included 260 randomly selected people aged 18-72 years old; among them 105 had metabolicsyndrome which was identified by the criteria of the International Diabetes Federation. All participantsunderwent general medical examinations and signed a written consent paper. Fasting blood glucose,triglyceride, HDL-C, insulin, adiponectin, leptin level were measured in fasting blood serum and insulinresistance was calculated as a HOMA-IR model.ResultsAverage level of leptin for participants with MS was 16.44±14.21ng/ml, in participants without MS was9.59±12.69ng/ml. MS exposed group had much higher level of leptin than the control group (p<0.001).Leptin level was correlated with waist circumference (β=-0.253±0.1; p=0.013), and body mass index(β=1.778±0.274; p<0.001).ConclusionLeptin level in the MS exposed group were higher than in the control group. The level of leptin had aconsistent and significant correlation with body mass index and waist circumference in compare to otherinfluencing factors.
