Does smoking cessation improve plasma adiponectin levels in smokers?
Absolute Event Rate: 16% vs 11.9%
p-value: p=0.016
Smoking cessation without nicotine replacement therapy is associated with a transient but significant increase in plasma adiponectin levels at 4 weeks.
Won et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Nicotine dependence (n=15). Smoking cessation vs. Baseline was evaluated on Plasma adiponectin levels at 4 weeks (p=0.016). Smoking cessation significantly increased mean plasma adiponectin levels from 11.9 mg/L at baseline to 16.0 mg/L after 4 weeks (p=0.016) in male smokers.
