PURPOSE: @entity37462 , a member of the adipocytokines family, is derived from adipose tissue and a lower level of serum @entity37462 is considered as a metabolic risk factor. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the serum levels of @entity37462 in @entity1 with @entity9998 ( @entity9998 ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: @entity1 without any @entity2194 other than @entity9998 were included in the study. Age-matched and sex-matched healthy volunteers without @entity9998 were accepted as a control group. After detailed ophthalmologic examination, blood samples were obtained from a forearm vein. Serum levels of @entity37462 were determined by the method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: The mean age of the @entity9998 group (12 females, 12 males, n=24) was 75.2  8.4 years, and the control group (10 females, 10 males, n=20) was 75  6.7 years. There was no difference between the groups in terms of age (P=0.93) and sex (P=0.9). The mean serum levels of @entity37462 in the @entity9998 group were 801.5  317.1 ng/mL and in the control group were 1150.1  584.1 ng/mL. The mean serum @entity37462 levels were significantly lower in @entity1 with @entity9998 (P=0.016). CONCLUSION: Lower levels of serum @entity37462 in @entity1 with @entity9998 compared with healthy subjects may support the theory of systemic nature of the disease.
