Observations reveal complex interactions between adipokines and asthma severity influenced by sex, weight, and oral steroids.
Overall, we observe variable relationships between the nine adipokines, obesity and asthma severity. There were no relationships between adipokine levels and type-2 airway inflammation, yet associations with systemic neutrophilic inflammation were seen. Although one adipokine, chemerin, was independently associated with asthma severity, deciphering the role of adipokines in OBA is complex due to the influence of sex, BMI, and OCS.
