Abstract excerpt
The present investigations were aimed to identify the possible association between genetic polymorphism in interleukin-6 (IL-6) G-174C gene, which confers susceptibility to metabolic syndrome, and serum level of resistin in North Indian women. The study population comprised 370 unrelated Indian women (192 having abdominal obesity and 178 controls). Polymorphism in genotype (CC+GC) of IL-6 G-174C gene was...
