Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Polymorphisms in the NAMPT gene, which encodes the adipocytokine visfatin/nicotinamide phosphorybosil transferase (NAMPT), affect the circulating visfatin/NAMPT levels and are associated with obesity and cardiovascular diseases. However, no study has tested the hypothesis that NAMPT haplotypes could affect visfatin/NAMPT levels in case of childhood obesity. We investigated the effects of traditional...
