Negative association between plasma levels of adiponectin and polychlorinated biphenyl 153 in obese women under non-energy-restrictive regime

Abstract

The aim of this study was to reveal whether accumulation of the persistent organic pollutants (POPs), especially polychlorinated biphenyl (2,20,4,40,5,50-hexachlorobiphenyl, PCB 153), affects plasma levels of adiponectin in obese patients.
