The visfatin (PBEF1) G-948T gene polymorphism is associated with increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in obese subjects.

Metabolism: clinical and experimental - 1 Nov 2008

Johansson Lina M, Johansson Lovisa E, Ridderstråle Martin

Abstract excerpt

The newly discovered adipokine visfatin has been hypothesized to be related to obesity and insulin resistance. In this study, we investigate if the 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms rs4730153 and G-948T are associated with obesity and/or related traits and whether they influence the messenger RNA...
