Adiponectin is an adipocyte-secreted protein that is known to modulate insulin sensitivity
and glucose homeostasis. A number of genetic variations have been studied. Among them …

Plasma levels of adiponectin are decreased in type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypertension.
Our aim was to use a family-based analysis to identify the genetic variants of the adiponectin …

Background and Aim. The adiponectin gene (ADIPQ) has been identified as a human
adiposity marker of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in several ethnic cultures. This study aimed …

OBJECTIVE: Adiponectin has anti-atherogenic properties and reduced serum adiponectin
levels are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this study, we examined the …

Little is known if lifestyle-related risk factors modulate the adiponectin genetic effects on its
outcome phenotypes. The aims of the study were to investigate whether the association …

Serum adiponectin levels have been positively associated with insulin sensitivity and are
decreased in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Genetic and environmental factors …

Adiponectin is an adipokine inversely correlated with obesity, which has beneficial effect on
insulin resistance and lipid metabolism. Considering its potential as a therapeutic target in …

Context: Hypoadiponectinemia is caused by interactions between genetic and
environmental factors, including the quality of dietary fats. Objective: We investigated the …

Adiponectin is an adipose tissue–specific hormone that is commonly decreased in obese
subjects. Furthermore, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the adiponectin gene …

Background Adiponectin, a secretagogue exclusively produced by adipocytes, has been
associated with metabolic features, but its role in the development of the metabolic …
