Abstract
Background: Chemerin is a novel adipokine that is associated with inflammation and adipogenesis. However, it remains unclear
whether chemerin is involved in patients with cardiovascular disease. We investigated whether the serum chemerin levels
of Korean patients with coronary artery disease correlated with specific cardiometabolic parameters.
Methods: In total, 131 patients, all of whom had coronary artery stenosis exceeding 50%, participated in this study. Their serum
chemerin levels and cardiometabolic parameters were measured. The serum chemerin levels of two groups of patients were compared;
those with one stenotic vessel (n=68) and those with multiple stenotic vessels, including left main coronary artery disease
(n=63).
Results: Serum chemerin levels correlated positively with the degree of coronary artery stenosis and fasting glucose, triglyceride,
total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high sensitive C-reactive protein levels. The group with multiple
stenotic vessels, including left main disease, had higher chemerin levels than the group with one stenotic vessel (t=-2.129,
P=0.035). Multiple binary logistic regression showed chemerin was not an independent risk factor of multiple vessel disease
(odds ratio, 1.018; confidence interval, 0.997 to 1.040; P=0.091).
Conclusion: Serum chemerin levels have a significant correlation with several cardiometabolic risk factors and the degree of
coronary artery stenosis in Korean patients with coronary artery disease. However, multiple binary logistic regression showed
chemerin was not an independent risk factor of multiple vessel disease. Additional investigations are necessary to fully elucidate
the role of chemerin in cardiovascular disease.
