Research Abstract |
We recruited 25 obesity asthma(BMI≧25,n=5) and non-obesityasthma(BMI<25,n=16). We examined asthma severity in dices such as %FEV1, PC20, FeNO and adiponectin and leptin concentrations in plasma and induced sputum supernatant in all asthmatic patients. Although there were significant correlations between adipocytokine concentrations and BMI in asthmatic patients, there were not significant correlations between adipocytokine concentrations and asthma severity indices.
