Abstract excerpt
Age-related hearing impairment (ARHI) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. We have reported previously that obesity increases the risk for ARHI, and that plasma levels of adiponectin are associated with ARHI. In the present study, we further explored the role of adiponectin in the pathophysiology of ARHI by investigating the genotypes of ADIPOQ and...
