The Claim
Serum adiponectin levels are inversely correlated with triglyceride accumulation in colorectal tissue among individuals with colorectal polyps or cancer.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In people with colorectal polyps or cancer, higher levels of adiponectin in the blood are associated with lower levels of triglycerides stored in colorectal tissue.
See the scientific wording
Serum adiponectin levels are inversely correlated with triglyceride accumulation in colorectal tissue among individuals with colorectal polyps or cancer, suggesting a potential role for this adipokine in regulating ectopic lipid storage.
When adiponectin levels are low, the colon absorbs more fatty acids from the blood and stores them as fat inside its inner lining, because the signals that normally burn fat for energy are turned down and the proteins that trap fat in droplets stay active.
What the research says
1 studyPeople with colorectal polyps or cancer who have less of the fat hormone adiponectin tend to have more fat buildup in their colon, and this study found exactly that link.
