Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the gene encoding adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) are associated with insulin resistance, fatty liver, increased risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. AdipoR1 is expressed in the central nervous system and in the olfactory mucosa of mice and humans. We therefore hypothesized that a common polymorphism in AdipoR1 might alter olfactory function. We investigated a group of 222...
