Overview

Does not warrant practice change; hypothesis-generating for cytokine-adipokine links in early obesity.

Study Design

Type

Cross-Sectional (n=30)

Structured PICO

P
Population
30 young adults categorized by BMI into eutrophic, overweight, and obese groups to evaluate metabolic and inflammatory profiles.
O
Outcome
Correlation between biochemical parameters, serum proinflammatory cytokines (IL-8, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6), and adipokines (leptin, adiponectin)surrogate

Obesity is associated with an altered lipid and glycemic profile and a shift towards a proinflammatory state characterized by increased proinflammatory cytokines and decreased anti-inflammatory adipokines.

Borges et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity (n=30). Obesity vs. Eutrophic (normal weight) was evaluated on Correlation between biochemical parameters, serum proinflammatory cytokines and adipokines. Obesity in young adults was associated with higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and lower adiponectin compared to eutrophic controls.
