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

Aims/hypothesis The adipokine adiponectin has insulin-sensitising, anti-atherogenic and
anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, the genes for mouse and human adiponectin …

We investigated the association of the− 11,391 G> A,− 11,377 G> C,+ 45T> G, and+ 276G>
T adiponectin single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and expected haplotypes with the …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether common single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) at the adiponectin (ADIPOQ) locus influence changes in circulating …

Purpose Obesity is a disease with genetic susceptibility characterized by an increase in
storage and irregular distribution of body fat. In obese patients, the decrease in the …

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 secreted by adipocytes and is thought to have insulin-sensitizing and
antiatherogenic effects. Two previous genome scans for plasma adiponectin have identified …

Previous data suggesting that polymorphisms in the adiponectin gene were associated with
insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes have been inconsistent. We assessed the relationship …

Context: Adiponectin is suspected to exert antiatherogenic, antiinflammatory, and insulin-
sensitizing effects. However, the relative importance of the genetic and environmental …

Background: Population-based data on serum adiponectin levels, an adipocytokine
secreted from adipose tissue, are lacking, particularly across race–ethnic groups. Studies …
