Objective:To explore the serum levels of resistin and adiponectin in patients with overweight and obesity. Methods: Fifty-eight cases with normal weight and 24 patients with overweight and obesity have taken fasting blood samples for measurements of plasma glucose, plasma lipids, insulin, C-peptide,thyroid hormones, C-response protein, interleukin-6, TNF-α, leptin, adiponectin and resistin. Results:The concentrations of resistin in cases with overweight and obesity were significant higher than those in the normal weight cases (16.01± 8. 60 vs 11. 63+ 9. 05 ng/ml, P = 0. 047). Pearson relation analysis showed that serum resistin concentrations were positively correlated with age (r= 0. 476, P= 0. 019), but negatively correlated with C-peptide (r=- 0.45, P = 0. 024), and adiponectin concentrations were positively correlated with HDL-c (r=0. 463, P=0. 023) and systolic blood pressure (r=0. 409, P=0. 047) in overweight and obesity cases. Conclusion: The concentrations of resistin in cases with over-weight and obesity are higher, and there is no correlation between resistin and blood glucose, blood lipids and insulin,while the serum adiponectin concentrations positively correlated with HDL-c and systolic blood pressure.
