Abstract excerpt
Adiponectin is inversely associated with the risk of ischemic stroke through its anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects. Genetic variations in the adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) have been shown to be associated with the risk of ischemic stroke in Caucasians and Japanese populations. However, it was unknown whether variations in the ADIPOQ gene were associated with the risk of ischemic stroke in Chinese...
