Adiponectin, coded for by the APM1 gene, is a novel adipocyte-derived hormone implicated
in energy homeostasis and obesity. Several genetic studies have observed evidence of …

Objective: Reduced serum adiponectin levels have been found in obesity and type 2
diabetes and variations in the adiponectin gene (APM1) have been associated with type 2 …

Low concentrations of adiponectin, the protein product of the APM1 gene, have been
reported to be associated with obesity and insulin resistance. However, contrasting results …

Abstract Adiponectin (ACRP30), an adipocyte-secreted protein encoded by the APM1 gene,
is known to modulate insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis, those effects protecting …

Adiponectin is a protein secreted by adipocytes that modulates insulin action. To assess
whether variants of this gene contribute to the prevalence of insulin resistance in …

Adiponectin (APM1) is an adipocyte-derived peptide that contributes to glucose, lipid, and
energy homeostasis. We assessed the genetic basis of plasma adiponectin in Hispanic …

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

The aim of this study was first to examine the relationships between adiponectin gene
(Apm1) polymorphisms and anthropometric indices as well as plasma adiponectin and …

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

Family-based linkage analysis has been a powerful tool for identification of genes
contributing to traits with monogenic patterns of inheritance. These approaches have been …
