Abstract: Background: Adult survivors of acute leukemia in childhood have a higher than expected frequency of obesity, an increased risk for metabolic syndrome and early mortality from cardiovascular (CV) disease. Adipose tissue has been recognized as an endocrine and paracrine organ that produces adipokines (leptin and adiponectin) that are associated with obesity, insulin secretion, and insulin resistance as well as endothelial function, vascular homeostasis and atherogenesis.
