Abstract excerpt
To detect and localize the effects of genes influencing variation in adiponectin mRNA and protein levels, we conducted statistical genetic analyses of circulating concentrations of adiponectin and adiponectin (ADIPOQ) mRNA expression in omental adipose tissue in adult, pedigreed baboons (Papio anubis). An omental adipose tissue biopsy and blood sample were collected from 427 baboons from the colony at the...
