Adiponectin is recognized as an antiinflammatory and antifibrotic protein derived from adipocytes, and low serum adiponectin levels are present in obesity. Recent studies have highlighted the relationship between obesity and pancreatic diseases. However, the role of adiponectin in chronic pancreatitis remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of adiponectin in chronic pancreatitis.
