  Study background: Adipocytokines are secreted from adipocytes and are important for metabolic regulation and immune response. We investigated differences in plasma adipocytokine levels between diabetes mellitus patients and non-diabetes mellitus patients during 120 hours of fasting after endoscopic treatment. We also compared changes in plasma adipocytokine levels from minimally invasive endoscopically-treated patients to those of patients treated with pancreatoduodenectomy. Materials and Methods: Seven diabetes mellitus patients, nine non-diabetes mellitus patients, and six patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy were analyzed for their WBC counts, plasma levels of CRP, glucose, adiponectin, adipsin, resistin and IL-6 levels at four points. Blood samples were drawn at pre-treatment, 24 hours of fasting, 72 hours of fasting, and 120 hou.. View More»
