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 …

Circulating levels of adiponectin, a hormone produced predominantly by adipocytes, are
highly heritable and are inversely associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and other …

OBJECTIVE—Variants in ADIPOQ have been inconsistently associated with adiponectin
levels or diabetes. Using comprehensive linkage disequilibrium mapping, we genotyped …

Adiponectin has a variety of metabolic effects on obesity, insulin sensitivity, and
atherosclerosis. To identify genes influencing variation in plasma adiponectin levels, we …

Circulating levels of adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted protein associated with
cardiovascular and metabolic risk, are highly heritable. To gain insights into the biology that …

Adiponectin is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. To date, there has been no
genome-wide association study (GWAS) of adiponectin levels in Asians. Here we present a …

OBJECTIVE: Plasma adiponectin is strongly associated with various components of
metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular outcomes. Concentrations are …

Anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic and anti-diabetic properties of adiponectin make this
adipokine an attractive target in the metabolism research. Given its biological role, genetic …

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for adiponectin, a complex trait linked
to type 2 diabetes and obesity, identified> 20 associated loci. However, most loci were …

OBJECTIVE The plasma adiponectin level, a potential upstream and internal facet of
metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, has a reasonably high heritability. Whether other …
