Abstract excerpt
Adiponectin is an adipocyte-secreted protein that modulates insulin sensitivity and whose low circulating concentration is associated with insulin resistance. In the present study, we analysed the association between two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the adiponectin gene and insulin resistance in 253 nondiabetic subjects. In addition, we investigated whether this association is modulated by body mass...
