Background: AdipoQ gene is located at the 3rd chromosome and encodes foradiponectin which is involved in fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity and plays a protective role in diabetes and atherogenesis. AdipoQgene variants have been reported to be associated with hypertriglyceridemia and risk of diabetes in different studies. We aimed to study whether polymorphism of rs2241766 polymorphic form of AdipoQ gene & its expression in adipose tissue is associated with post prandi...

Background: A higher cardiometabolic risk has been reported in night shift workers. Post prandial hypertriglyceridemia (PPHTg) is recognized as an independent cardiovascular risk marker. Few studies have shown that acute disruption of circadian rhythm is followed by significantly altered insulin secretion and lipid tolerance.Aim and objectives: In this study we compared the postprandial triglyceride (PPTG) responses to standard oral fat meal between heal...
