Abstract excerpt
Adiponectin is a protein hormone secreted exclusively by adipocytes and it is responsible for insulin sensitization in the human body. Deregulation of adiponectin and its downstream signaling pathway genes have been found to be involved in the gastric cancer carcinogenesis; however, whether the variants on adiponectin (ADIPOQ) and adiponectin receptor 1 (ADIPOR1) affect the prognosis of gastric cancer patients...
