Abstract
Background: Chronic inflammatory conditions include metabolic syndrome (MetS), one of the most important worldwide health concerns. Chemerin, an adipokine, is involved in the relationship between MetS and inflammation. Aim: The goal of our research was to assess if serum chemerin might be used as a marker for early diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Methods: The study included 42 obese and 42 non-obese healthy children and adolescents ranging in age from 5 to 17 years old. The subjects' anthropometric and blood pressure measurements were taken. The following data were collected: fasting blood glucose, serum triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c). The level of chemerin was measured using ELISA. Results: Serum chemerin levels were substantially greater in MetS obese than in non-MetS obese and healthy subjects (1211.71569 ng/ml versus 337.534.8 ng/ml and 470.3475.8 ng/ml, respectively, p0.001). By using correlation and multiple linear regression analysis, serum chemerin levels were found to be significantly correlated to impaired fasting blood sugar (r= 0.398, p = 0.009) and poor HDL (r= -0.386, p = 0.012). Conclusion: Chemerin levels in the blood have been linked to metabolic syndrome and could be used as an independent diagnostic marker for the condition.
