Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adiponectin levels are high in cases of diabetic nephropathy, but it remains unclear whether these high levels are a cause or a consequence of the disease. We investigated the possible association of polymorphisms in the adiponectin gene and baseline adiponectin levels with the incidence of renal events in subjects with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We studied three adiponectin polymorphisms (-11391G > A,...
