Abstract excerpt

Visfatin is a peptide predominantly expressed in visceral adipose tissue and was hypothesized to be related to obesity and insulin resistance. In the present study, we investigated the effects of genetic variations in the visfatin gene (pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor 1 [PBEF1]) on obesity, me...
