Association of genetic variability in selected regions in visfatin (NAMPT) gene with anthropometric parameters and dietary composition in obese and non-obese Central-European population.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Visfatin (NAMPT/PBEF) is a recently identified adipocytokine which harbors strong insulin-mimetic activity and was reported to be associated with obesity. However, nothing is known about whether visfatin is related to specific nutritional behavior which may result in obesity development. This is the first study focusing on genetic variability of the visfatin gene and its association with circulating...
