Association of RBP4 gene variants and serum HDL cholesterol levels in the Newfoundland population.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Jul 2010

Shea Jennifer L, Loredo-Osti J Concepción, Sun Guang

Abstract excerpt

Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a novel adipokine that likely contributes to systemic insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. The role of genetic variations in RBP4 on phenotypes of glucose and lipid metabolism is not clear in humans. The purpose of this study was to examine five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the RBP4 gene to determine their relationship with markers of insulin resistance and serum...
