Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by patients’ high level of suffering. There is increasing evidence for involvement of the immune system in this disease. Adipokines have been reported to be critical immunoregulators in many clinical conditions, including gastrointestinal (GI) inflammatory diseases. Our study aimed to investigate associations of omentin-1 (a newly discovered adipokine) with IBS.
