Are heart rate variability and serum level of insulin-like growth factor-1 correlated with symptoms of emotional disorders in patients suffering a mild traumatic brain injury?
We infer that HRV may be more significantly correlated with emotional disorders than is IGF-1 in mTBI patients.
Our data further support a protective effect of adiponectin on gallstone risk and suggest a role of progranulin in the pathophysiology of cholelithiasis. Nevertheless, longitudinal data and functional analyses would be required to assess the pathogenetic link between gallstone formation and adipokine serum levels.
