Abstract
Background
Adipokines are proposed to be associated with ALS progression through assorted pathways. Therefore, The present meta-analysis explored the link between various adipokines and ALS progression.
Method
International database like PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched to achieve eligible papers published before December 2023. The following PICO structure was utilized: Population (patients with ALS); Intervention (serum concentrations of ghrelin, leptin, and adiponectin), Comparison (with or without controls), and Outcome (ALS progression). the risk of bias of selected papers was assessed through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) tool.
Results
11 out of 240 papers were selected for this study which were published between 2010 and 2024. Lower serum leptin concentrations were detected in the ALS compared to control groups (WMD: −0.91, 95% CI:-1.77, −0.05). Serum concentrations of adiponectin were higher in ALS compared to control groups (WMD: 0.41, 95% CI:-0.7, 0.89). Ultimately, The serum concentrations of ghrelin in the ALS groups were lower than control groups (WMD: −1.21, 95% CI: −2.95, 0.53).
Conclusion
Our findings revealed that serum concentrations of ghrelin and leptin were higher in ALS patients compared to control, unlike adiponectin.
