Abstract excerpt

The adipokine visfatin (PBEF1) exhibits insulin-mimetic effects and correlates strongly with visceral adiposity. We sequenced visfatin gene exons and 1,480 bp of the promoter in 23 individuals, including 18 individuals from the Quebec Family Study (QFS) with varying degrees of abdominal visceral fat, assessed by computed tomography, and 5 individuals from the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Québec. We...
