“…These data support the findings of other studies showing correlation of high circulating MCP-1 levels in obese individuals [23, 24] and in type 2 diabetes [25]. However, previous studies have shown that serum levels of MCP-1 are decreased after weight loss in obese healthy individuals [24, 25]. Due to the late presentation of pancreatic cancer, many patients may have already lost a considerable amount of weight by the time they have presented for surgical intervention.…”

“…However, the precise cellular mechanisms explaining the pathophysiology of adipose tissue and its association with the comorbid conditions of obesity are not entirely understood. It is postulated that a chronic state of low-grade inflammation, created by proinflammatory cytokines and peptides secreted by adipose tissue, mediates the link between obesity and both cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance [12,13]. C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase reactant produced mainly in the liver in response to IL-6, is also a reliable marker of current inflammatory status [13,14].…”

“…20 Moreover, hypoadiponectinemia independently correlates with CAD. 21 However, elevated adiponectin levels are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular events in patients with CAD, 3 though the mechanisms mediating this association are not clear. Increased arterial stiffness as assessed by PWV has an independent prognostic value in patients with CAD.…”
