Introduction: Obesity and type II diabetes are increasing tremendously in young subjects. Adipocytokines are centrally involved in metabolic abnormalities of obesity. We measured serum levels of resistin, leptin, leptin receptor, adiponectin, and insulin in obese juveniles with normal fasting BG levels, and compared them to healthy, normal weighted, juvenile controls. Methods: Serum/plasma levels of ultra sensitive C-reactive protein (US-CRP), lipid fractions, glucose, insulin, resistin, leptin, leptin receptor, and adiponectin were determined by means of ELISA in 200 obese juveniles (BMI-SDS: 6±1.6, age: 13±2.9…
