Genes encoding adipokines are considered as candidates for human obesity. In this study
we analyzed the expression of leptin (LEP) and adiponectin (ADIPOQ) genes in relation to …

Genes encoding adipokines are important functional candidates for development of obesity.
In this study we screened for polymorphism 5′-flanking regions of the adiponectin …

Background: The genetic contribution to obesity and to circulating adipokine levels has not
been completely clarified. We aimed to evaluate adipokine genes' single-nucleotide …

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the anthropometric, biochemical, and
hormonal characteristics and the presence of genetic polymorphisms of leptin, adiponectin …

Background: Adipocytokines play an important role in controlling energy homeostasis, and
in various metabolic processes related to obesity. The aim of this study was to describe …

Obesity is a multifactor disorder with evidence supporting the role of the genetic factor in its
etiology. The present study evaluates the relationship between leptin G2548A (rs7799039) …

Abdominal obesity coupled with polygenic hereditary defects is considered the initial event
in the development of metabolic syndrome (MS). The purpose of this study was to analyse …

The genetic background of obesity is under research. Obesity-related phenotype candidate
genes include the gene encoding adiponectin (AdipoQ). In this study, exon 3 of the …

Obesity increases the risk of developing hypertension. Since both pathological entities
constitute public health problems, the aim of this study was to investigate RNA expression of …

Excess body weight confers a high risk to human health. Body weight variation between
subjects can be partially explained by genetic differences. The aim of the present study was …
