Abstract excerpt
Adiponectin which possesses anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing properties is elevated in blood circulation of liver cirrhosis patients. The genetic variations in the adiponectin gene can affect the circulating adiponectin level and stimulation of adiponectin receptor that may affect the activity of adiponectin. We investigated the effect of adiponectin single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) 45 T/G and...
