Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Apelin, which is a newly identified adipokine, is related to obesity and insulin resistance. A positive correlation between plasma apelin concentrations and obesity traits was reported. OBJECTIVE: We tested associations between apelin gene (APLN) polymorphisms, BMI, and waist circumference (WC) and compared APLN expression levels in cells of different genotypes. DESIGN: Four tagging single nucleotide...
