| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the present study was to investigate the significance of serum C1q/TNF-related protein-3 (CTRP3) in the context of lifestyle-related diseases among non-obese young adults. We investigated 261 non-obese university freshmen (160 men and 101 women). Serum CTRP3 level was negatively correlated with BMI and systolic and diastolic blood pressures. It also negatively correlated with triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol, and HOMA-IR. In contrast, it positively correlated with HDL-cholesterol. CTRP3 level in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) group was significantly higher than that in non-NAFLD group. Since serum CTRP3 level decreases in the presence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, overweight, and NAFLD, it is considered to be a biosensor to reflect the risk of lifestyle-related diseases.
