Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived protein that is down-regulated in obesity-linked
disorders. Variants of the adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) have been shown to affect …

BACKGROUND: Adiponectin is a collagen-like plasma protein specifically synthesized in
adipose tissue. Plasma adiponectin concentrations are decreased in obesity whereas it is …

Background: In the adiponectin gene polymorphisms, single-nucleotide polymorphism
(SNP)− 45 and SNP276 have reportedly been associated with obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and …

Background: Although it has been shown that high-molecular weight adiponectin is an
active form, few studies have attempted to clarify the relationship between high molecular …

Adiponectin gene polymorphisms have recently been reported to be associated with obesity,
insulin sensitivity, and the risk of type 2 diabetes. We examined a T94G polymorphism of the …

BACKGROUND: Concentrations of adiponectin, the protein product of the adipoctye C1q
and collagen-domain-containing (ADIPOQ) gene are associated with type 2 diabetes and …

Epidemiologic studies have shown that serum level of adiponectin, a circulating protein
secreted by adipocytes, predicts the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular events. Two …

Adiponectin, which is encoded by the ADIPOQ gene, has been shown to modulate insulin
sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. Plasma adiponectin levels are decreased in type 2 …

Objective Adiponectin is found in human serum in three groups of multimers (high molecular
weight [HMW], medium molecular weight [MMW], and low molecular weight [LMW]). Two …
