Adiponectin Stops Sepsis – Relevance to H1N1 Swine Flu

A new animal study shows that low levels of adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. ¹ are associated with higher toxicity of sepsis whereas adequate adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. prevents sepsis.  Adiponectin levels are low in overweight people and being overweight is a risk factor for getting severe H1N1 swine flu.  Those with severe H1N1 swine flu have sepsis-like symptoms due to the toxicity and low oxygen condition produced by the infection.

Any flu tends to deactivate the anti-bacterial defense system setting the stage for secondary bacterial infection, including pneumonia.  The sepsis of pneumonia kills more people than the flu.  Sepsis also occurs from infections following surgery.  Overweight people are 2 ½ - 3 times more likely to die from sepsis following surgery.

Adiponectin is a hormone, like leptin, that comes from fat.  It is vital for assisting the proper function of insulin and preventing diabetes.  Thus, overweight individuals, especially diabetics, are likely to be low in adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. .  Why adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. prevents sepsis is at this time unknown.

Even overweight individuals can help get adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. on track by following the Leptin Diet.  When leptin is too high (leptin resistance) it is known to suppress adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. levels.  By correcting excess leptin problems adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. levels bounce back to a healthier level.
Various nutrients have been shown to support the production of adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. , including quercetin, DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement., magnesium, resveratrol Natural phenol or type of antioxidant found in red grapes, red wine. Research has shown beneficial effects as anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents along with supporting healthy blood sugar and cardiovasculature function., grape seed extract, mangosteen, banaba leaf, and likely many others.

Leptin is the commander and chief of all hormones.  It is structured as an immune system cytokine, indicating the significant impact of leptin on immunity.  In health, leptin and adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. rise in harmony.  It appears now that you not only want to accomplish this as part of weight management and healthy blood sugar function, but also to support healthy immunity.
