  Introduction: The metabolic syndrome (MS) has been related to the unbalance between pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines; where adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory adipokine, is considered to play a key metabolic role. The consumption of certain micronutrients has been claimed to modify pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Aim: To explore whether dietary micronutrients are related with plasma adiponectin in patients with MS. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis. Quartiles of dietary bioactive compounds were compared according to values of plasma adiponectin. Interquartile variation (IQV) and correlation analyses were performed. Results: There was a significant IQV of dietary unsaturated fatty acids (between 50%-66% of change, p25 vs p75, p<0.05), particularly for trans-fatty acids, poly-unsaturated fatty acids, mono-unsa..
