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 …

Abstract Background/Aims: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ADIPOQ gene
could explain the adiponectin level. However, the knowledge about the influence of genetic …

Background Low adiponectin levels have been associated with obesity, diabetes, coronary
disease and polymorphisms. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and genetic …

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 …

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

In this study we examined the association of adiponectin gene variants with circulating
adiponectin, and known metabolic diseases in 298 healthy controls and 297 Saudi subjects …

Abstract Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the association of
single nucleotide polymorphism rs1501299 in the ADIPOQ gene with body weight, insulin …

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, a protein exclusively secreted by adipose tissue and present at low levels in
obese individuals, is now widely recognized as a key determinant of insulin sensitivity 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 …
