Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Adiponectin is a circulating peptide derived from adipose tissue. It mediates its insulin-sensitising and anti-atherogenic effects on target tissues through two known receptors, adiponectin receptors 1 and 2 (ADIPOR1; ADIPOR2), which are encoded by the genes ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2. Our aim was to study the association of ADIPOR1 gene variations with body size and risk of type 2 diabetes in subjects...
