Conclusion
These results may suggest that body fat loss by human body weight control program
is associated with an increase of serum adiponectin level in obese female college
students. Therefore, further study such as taurine intervention study is needed to
know more exact correlation between dietary taurine intake and serum adipokines
or body composition.
