Description
Summary:	The aim of our investigation was the study of blood adiponectin and leptin levels in patients with menopausal metabolic syndrome (MMS) and their correlation with the parameters of MMS features. 40 females with menopause have been investigated. In 38 cases diabetes mellitus type 2 has been registered, and in 2 - impaired glucose tolerance. Mean duration of postmenopausal period was 11,1+/-7,4. Control group consisted of 10 females of postmenopausal age. The blood content of adiponectin and leptin was measured by ELISA. For MMS diagnostics WHO classification (2002) was applied. In basic group MMS was revealed in 37 patients, in control group - in 3 cases (chi(2)=19,53, p<0,001). It was not observed significant difference in blood adiponectin levels of basic and control groups (16,4+/-7,6 vs. 16,3+/-6,1, p=NS), but blood leptin level was significantly higher in study group in comparison with controls (166,7+105,3 vs. 60,3+/-51,0, p<0,001). Significant correlations of blood adiponectin and leptin levels with the parameters of MMS features were observed. Obtained results show that blood adiponectin level in MMS does not differ from the values in control group, although blood leptin level is significantly higher than the one among controls. They significantly correlated with the parameters of MMS features.
