Linking circulating chemerin and adiponectin to lipoprotein subclasses measured by 1H-NMR spectroscopy in 3199 participants from the study of health in Pomerania

Int J Obes (Lond)Published Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Our highly consistent results demonstrate that high adiponectin was associated with a favorable, anti-atherogenic lipoprotein profile, whereas the opposite was observed for chemerin.

Study context

Population
Participants of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-TREND-0)
Participants
3,199 participants
Outcome
Associations between adiponectin/chemerin and lipoprotein subclasses quantified by NMR spectroscopy
Methodological detailspopulation-based, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, adjusted linear regression
  • Population-based
  • 1H-NMR spectroscopy
  • Adjusted linear regression

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Associations of adiponectin/chemerin with lipoprotein subclasses
  • Wide range of significant associations between adiponectin/chemerin and lipoprotein subclasses, primarily in opposite directions
  • Higher adiponectin related to lower particle number and lower cholesterol, phospholipid and TG content in atherogenic small, dense LDL particles
  • Chemerin positively associated with these small, dense LDL measures

Observational data: associations, not effects.
