%X adiponectin one of the cytokines secreted by the adipose tissue that regulates the energetic metabolism through glucose and insulin interactions., stimulates the oxidation of fatty acids, reduces the plasmatic triglycerides and improves glucose metabolism by increasing insulin sensibility. serum concentrations of adiponectin, insulin and glucose were assessed in order to establish association to weight loss after a dietary regime based on consumption of complex carbohydrates (fiber) during six weeks. overweight and obese subjects (n=56) were studied by anthropometry. adiponectin and insulin were measured by elisa and glucose by colorimetry. data was analyzed by non parametric tests to compare independent or related samples. 12 men and 44 women, aged 20 to 55 years, 17 overweight and 39 obese were assessed. adiponectin concentration was significantly low at basal determination in all the subjects (4,47 ¡À1,64); being higher in women (4,62¡À1,57 vs 3,93¡À1,86 ¦Ìu/ml in men), while glucose and insulin values were at normal range (82,46¡À26,51 ¦Ìg/dl and 14,12¡À10,15 ¦Ìu/ml) respectively with no significant differences for sex. overweight subjects had significantly higher adiponectin concentrations than obese participants, at all measurements. dietary regime promoted significant increase in adiponectin concentration at second and sixth week, with a negative correlation to body mass index and gender as they lost body weight.
