Serum leptin concentrations in patients with chronic congestive heart failure
Objective:To explore the changes of serum leptin in chronic congestive heart failure(CHF).Methods:The serum levels of leptin in 46 patients with NYHA cardiac function class Ⅰ and in 39 patients with CHF(14 in class Ⅱ
21 in class Ⅲ and 4 in class Ⅳ)were assessed by radioimmunoassay.Results:The serum contents of leptin were 11.674±6.911μg/l in NYHA class Ⅰ group
11.492±5.649 μg/l in classⅡ group
7.763±3.321 μg/l in class Ⅲ group
6.100± 2.657 μg/l in class Ⅳ group and 9.018±4.519 μg/l in CHF group.The serum levels of leptin were significantly lower in class Ⅲ group
class Ⅳ group and CHF group
compared with class Ⅰ group
respectively( t =2.185~2.786
P <0.05).Compared with class Ⅱ group
the levels of leptin were also significantly lower in class Ⅲ group and class Ⅳ group
respectively( t =2.605~2.174
P <0.05).The decrease of serum leptin level was significantly correlated with the decreased serum total cholesterol level
triglyceride
body mass index and left ventricular ejection fraction in all groups
respectively( r =0.564~0.999
P <0.05).Conclusion:The role of the decreased serum leptin in CHF remains to be studied.
