Abstract
Circulating adiponectin levels in cigarette smokers are lower than those in nonsmokers. We have previously shown that adiponectin is expressed in human monocytes. The aim of this study was to further investigate the effect of smoking on adiponectin expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
