Key result
Acute ischemic stroke is linked to ~49% lower serum adiponectin levels versus healthy controls.
Why the study?
Serum adiponectin levels decrease in the presence of atherosclerosis risk factors, but their levels and relation to consciousness in acute ischemic stroke patients are not well defined.
Are serum adiponectin levels associated with acute ischemic stroke?
Case-Control (n=39)
Are serum adiponectin levels associated with acute ischemic stroke?
Absolute Event Rate: 8.8% vs 17.16%
p-value: p=<0.001
Serum adiponectin levels are significantly decreased in patients with acute ischemic stroke compared to healthy controls.
Lower adiponectin levels associate with acute ischemic stroke; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Kotan et al. (2013) conducted a case-control in Acute ischemic stroke (n=39). Acute ischemic stroke vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Serum adiponectin levels (p=<0.001). Serum adiponectin levels were significantly lower in patients with acute ischemic stroke (8.80 ± 0.7 microg/mL) compared to healthy controls (17.16 ± 0.9 microg/mL).
