Objective Cardiovascular risk increases with the presence of both metabolic syndrome
(MetS) and hypertension (HTN). Although the adiponectin (ADIPOQ) gene has been …

Adiponectin is a plasma protein produced by the adipose tissue. Hypoadiponectinemia has
been associated with insulin resistance and several components of the metabolic syndrome …

Increased adiponectin levels have been shown to be associated with a lower risk of type 2
diabetes. To understand the relations between genetic variation at the adiponectin-encoding …

Blood levels of adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted protein correlated with metabolic and
cardiovascular risks, are highly heritable. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies for …

Minor allele A of single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 11391 G/A of ADIPOQ gene
(rs17300539) has been consistently associated with higher adiponectin levels in adults and …

Background Adiponectin, secreted mainly by mature adipocytes, is a protein with insulin-
sensitising and anti-atherogenic effects. Human adiponectin is encoded by the ADIPOQ …

OBJECTIVE Adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, is of particular interest in
metabolic syndrome, because it is inversely correlated with obesity and insulin sensitivity …

OBJECTIVE High molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin is a predominant isoform of
circulating adiponectin and has been related to type 2 diabetes. Previous linkage studies …

Background: Genetic variations of the human adiponectin gene are associated with
metabolic phenotypes, including obesity, insulin sensitivity, and diabetes. However, these …

This cross‐sectional study analyzed the effects of two single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNP) of the adiponectin gene, SNP45 and SNP276, on hyperglycemia in indigenous …
