Objective: Adiponectin plays an important role in pathophysiology of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine adiponectin concentrations in children and adolescents with type I diabetes in a longitudinal manner and to study the impact of age, gender. body mass index (BMI) and metabolic control.Research design and methods: In this study, 88 children and adolescents with type 1. diabetes were followed longitudinally. At baseline and during follow-up, serum levels of adiponectin were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay and correlated with clinical data, HbA1c and lipids. Healthy children (n = 259) were chosen as a control group.Results: Serum adiponectin levels were significantly higher in children with type 1. diabetes compared with healthy children (13.1 vs 9.1 mu g/ml at baseline, P < 0.001). Adiponectin concentrations inversely correlated with BMI s.d.s (P < 0.001). No significant difference of adiponectin levels regarding gender, diabetes duration or HbA1c was seen. Adiponectin concentrations decreased in males with type I diabetes during puberty (P = 0.03) while there was no significant change in females. in a subgroup of patients with new onset type 1. diabetes. adiponectin concentrations were not different from adiponectin levels in control subjects but increased during follow-up (P = 0.007). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that most important predictors of adiponectin levels in type 1. diabetes at the end of the study were adiponectin concentration at baseline ( beta = 0.574, P < 0.001) and BMI s.d.s (0 = -0.302, p = 0.001, r(2) = 0.56).Conclusions: Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes have BMI-dependent elevated serum concentrations of adiponectin compared with healthy children.
