Adipokine response to consumption of alcohol in rodents and humans.

ModelEffect of alcohol consumptionReference

RodentDecrease in circulating adiponectin[77]
Decrease in adiponectin and cartonectin levels[82, 86, 89, 109112]
Increase in leptin, resistin, IL-6, visfatin, chemerin, TNF-a, MCP-1, and RBP-4[70, 83, 111, 113, 114]
Decrease leptin[88, 89]
Unchanged leptin levels[99]
Increase resistin, chemerin, and visfatin[102, 104, 106]
Increase in triglyceride gradation and insulin resistance[115, 116]
HumanIncrease plasma adiponectin in chronic alcohol model[117119]
Decrease plasma leptin in plasma chronic alcohol model[97, 120, 121]
Increase in leptin, resistin, and chemerin[99, 103, 106]
Unchanged leptin and resistin[9095, 103]
Increase in adiponectin, resistin, ghrelin, TNF-alpha, and IL-6[43, 48, 70, 78, 122126]
Decrease in acylation of stimulating protein[127]
Glucose intolerance[97, 128, 129]
