Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of adiponectin, leptin, and resistin and the -420C>G polymorphism of the resistin gene promoter in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke are controversial. We aimed to evaluate whether serum levels of these adipokines and the -420C>G polymorphism are associated with ischemic stroke severity and in-hospital outcome. METHODS: We prospectively studied 93 patients who were consecutively...
