Abstract excerpt
Low concentrations of adiponectin, the protein product of the APM1 gene, have been reported to be associated with obesity and insulin resistance. However, contrasting results have been described on the genetic variability in APM1 and characteristics of the metabolic syndrome and adiponectin serum concentrations. In the present study, we investigated the association of the two most well-known SNPs of APM1 (+45T>G...
