Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adipocytokines such as leptin (LEP) and adiponectin (ADIPOQ) represent a link between metabolism, nutritional status and immune responses. The present study aimed to determine the possible association between single nucleotide polymorphisms of LEP and ADIPOQ genes with multiple sclerosis (MS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in LEP (rs2167270 or 19G > A and rs7799039 or -2,548G...
