I was researching what caused high levels of Adiponectin after my tests showed a level of 35.9, but my doctor told me it was nothing to worry about since all my other levels are fine. I do drink 3 to 4 cups of coffee a day and do not have a weight problem. This seems to explain the level to me.suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01104787822634095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-12594700741113540622012-10-12T09:16:47.322+03:002012-10-12T09:16:47.322+03:00Hi...

Adiponectin and Leptin levels are inversely proportional to each other. Extremely high levels of Adiponectin have been linked to death. High Leptin levels are attributed to metabolic syndrome. <br /><br />Also, Adiponectin is found in a mutimeric form and in the form of a monomer. High levels of what form of Adiponectin are we talking about. There are a lot of unknowns here and I would not draw too many conclusions as the relation of coffee with Adiponectin. <br /><br />Early last year, I became frustrated with my weight problem... At 5'7", I weighed 186 pounds. A bit over weight... there after I decided to experiment with Coffee. Coffee without milk or sugar. In about a week, I noticed serious weight-loss. I ended up loosing 15 pounds, stable, in 3 weeks. By the end of the venture, I had lost 25 pounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-63271788235656239602012-10-12T09:15:59.851+03:002012-10-12T09:15:59.851+03:00Hi...

It seems that it's possible the coffee drinkers are people who prefer to get their caffeine from coffee and others from energy drinks or soda, in which case, sugar might again be the culprit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-1650721010030365292011-06-18T00:10:42.710+03:002011-06-18T00:10:42.710+03:00I think there are more confounding variables - bla...I think there are more confounding variables - black coffee? Mocha frapp? You get the idea. Especially since you mentioned adiponectin's relationship with diabetes and insulin, presumably the effect of glucose in coffee may affect the findings. If someone drinks a latte alone the sugars in the milk will have an effect on insulin response. How insulin and adiponectin work synergistically is not well understood as of yet, and whether it is coffee or sugar that is causing such findings cannot be conclusive.<br /><br />Green tea on the other hand, especially in Japan, is drunk almost exclusively without sugar. You can see what I mean by the findings potentially showing false positives in correlation or causation. The caffeine content difference (due to solubility of caffeine-containing compounds) between tea and coffee may also create confusing results (perhaps it is a <i>higher dosage</i> of soluble caffeine that matters, rather than coffee vs green tea?)<br /><br />For a better weighted study, decaffeinated coffee and decaffeinated green tea should be investigated to better visualise the relationship between the other active compounds within the two beverages.theotherworldlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15074636322293249454noreply@blogger.com
