Adipocytokines are hormones regulating energy metabolism and appetite and according to recent reports also inflammatory responses including ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Based on experimental data, we hypothesized that the levels of adipocytokines adiponectin, adipsin, leptin and/or resistin would correlate with myocardial injury, inflammation and oxidative stress during cardiac surgery.
