This study was designed to examine the association between adiponectin and C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and endothelin-1, (ET-1) and their possible role in prediction of type-2 diabetes and development of diabetes and macrovascular complications.

Adiponectin and IL-6 were determined by ELISA technique, CRP was determined by immunonephlometry and ET-1 was determined by radioimmunoassay.

Adiponectin was found to be decreased in newly diagnosed diabetics (6.64 +/- 2.3 microg/ml), OMI (4.7 +/- 1.05 microg/ml) and AMI (4.23 +/- 0.73 microg/ml) when compared to controls (9.81 +/- 2.2 microg/ml), whereas CRP, IL- 6 and ET-1 were significantly elevated in AMI (18.6 +/- 5.3 mg/l, 12.6 +/- 4.2 pg/ml and 36.8 +/- 10.4 fmol/ml, respectively).

Only adiponectin significantly decreased in newly diagnosed type-2 diabetics, but CRP, IL-6 and ET-1 did not significantly altered in newly diagnosed diabetics (4.9 +/- 1.6 mg/l, 6.9 +/- 2.3 pg/ml and 22.1 +/- 8.6 fmol/ml, respectively) compared to control.

Adiponectin correlated negatively with CRP, IL-6 and ET-1, BMI and HbA1c, whereas inflammatory and vascular markers correlated positively with each other and with BMI and HbA1c.

Short-term exposure to UCF-101 did not change the expression of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) and Omi stress-regulated endoprotease, high temperature requirement protein A2 (Omi/HtrA2), favouring an apoptosis-independent mechanism.

In addition, UCF-101 promoted the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) after 15 min of incubation, while it failed to affect the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta) within 120 min in H9C2 myoblasts.

Neither diabetes nor UCF-101 affected the expression of HtrA2/Omi and XIAP or caspase-3 activity.

UCF-101 significantly downregulated the AMPK-degrading enzymes PP2A and PP2C, the effect of which was mimicked by resveratrol.
