There was no significant correlation between the extent of weight loss and plasma adipokine levels after stroke in control or obese mice (adiponectin; control r2 = 0.09, obese r2 = 0.32: resistin; control r2 = 0.19, obese r2 = 0.29: leptin; control r2 = 0.0002, obese r2 = 0.35). Here, ADIPOQ is linked to Stroke.
