Associations of leptin with body fat distribution and metabolic parameters in non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients: no effect of apolipoprotein E polymorphism.

Abstract excerpt

Leptin levels have been shown previously to be associated with anthropometric parameters such as the body mass index (BMI), total body fat, and subcutaneous fat. Since apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism is known to be a genetic marker affecting the relationship between certain anthropometric and metabolic parameters, we evaluated whether the leptin level and/or associations between the leptin level and body...
