ADIPOQ and asthma: Mpalaris et al. (2016) showed that there is an association between bone mineral content and those peptides, in a way that there is a positive correlation between leptin concentration and negative one among the adiponectin and ghrelin and bone mineral content of postmenopausal women. Tsaroucha et al. (2013) reported that all of these peptides singly could play a main role to mediate the pathogenesis of asthma in obese women.
