Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived protein, is known to play a key role in the processes leading to atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) through its anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and anti-apoptotic properties. In the current study, we have studied the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) +45 T>G (rs2241766) and +276 G>T (rs1501299) of the...
