BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Human obesity is accepted as an important risk factor for
development of MetS. Adiponectin is linked to central obesity and ADIPOQ variants are …

Background: Adiponectin is a plasma protein produced by the adipose tissue, with insulin
sensibility, antiinflammatory and antiatherogenic properties. Many adiponectin gene …

Background Obesity is a major public health concern in developed and even developing
countries worldwide. Adiponectin is a protein secreted by adipose tissue that modulates …

Plasma levels of adiponectin are decreased in type 2 diabetes, obesity and hypertension.
Our aim was to use a family-based analysis to identify the genetic variants of the adiponectin …

OBJECTIVE: Some studies in the literature indicate that ADIPOQ rs266729 polymorphism
functionally regulates adiponectin promoter activity and secondarily adiponectin levels. The …

Background: The association of obesity with adiponectin gene has been reported in different
populations with various inconsistencies. Data from Nigeria is very scanty on the …

Introduction Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) can be effective for the diagnosis of abdominal
obesity and the risk of type 2 diabetes. The role of genetic factors in the development of …

Background Adiponectin gene polymorphisms have recently been reported to be associated
with obesity. In Egypt, obesity has expanded especially with the changing nourishment …

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 …

Adiponectin is an adipose tissue–specific hormone that is commonly decreased in obese
subjects. Furthermore, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the adiponectin gene …
