Adiponectin and Adiponectin Receptor Gene Variants in Relation to Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Resistance-Related Phenotypes
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations in adiponectin-mediated pathways are known to be associated with glucose intolerance, insulin resistance (IR), obesity, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus. Genetic variations in adiponectin (ADIPOQ) and adiponectin 1 and 2 receptor (ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2) could have effects on IR-related phenotypes and T2D. Here we examine whether the polymorphic markers rs2241766 (ADIPOQ), rs22753738...
