Association of adiponectin gene polymorphism with adiponectin levels and risk for insulin resistance syndrome
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adiponectin is an abundant adipose tissue-derived protein with anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic properties. Plasma adiponectin levels are decreased in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and coronary artery disease and low adiponectin levels also predict insulin resistance (IR). METHODS: Case-control study in which 642 male and female subjects were participated from the North Indian...
