Abstract excerpt
We investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms 45T --> G and 276G --> T of the adiponectin gene in 48 obese Greek children and adolescents (3.58-16.25 years old) and examined their association with adiponectin levels and insulin resistance (IR), estimated with HOMA-IR, AUC(insulin) and WBISI. The polymorphisms were: 45T/G in 13/48 (27%) and 45G/G in 2 (4%) individuals; 276G/T in 21/41 (51%) and 276T/T in 3 (8%)...
