Does Garlic Affect Serum Adiponectin and Pro-Inflammatory Adipokines Levels in Metabolic Syndrome?

It is well known that the level of inflammation in metabolic syndrome is not high and it is often called a low-grade inflammation or metaflammation, indicating the metabolic association, or parainflammation, meaning an intermediate state between basal and inflammatory states. Whatever term is used, the inflammatory process that characterizes metabolic syndrome seems to have unique features of its own. However, most adipokines with pro-inflammatory properties including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF- ?) are overproduced with increasing adiposity, while some adipokines with anti-inflammatory properties such as adiponectin decrease.
