Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) Of Adiponectin Gene And Its Association With Serum Adiponectin Concentration And Metabolic Syndrome Risk Factors Among Malay Adults
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors that include central obesity, hypertriglyceridaemia, reduced HDL cholesterol, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Accumulating evidences support the hypothesis that hypoadiponectinemia, a type of adipokine, confer increased risk for metabolic diseases. Of...
