Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Visfatin is an adipokine, associated with obesity and possibly glucose regulation. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the association of visfatin and its genetic variants with adiposity, cardiometabolic risk factors and obesity-related morbidities in obese children. METHODS: Anthropometric measurements, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan, fasting blood samples and oral glucose...
