Background: Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived adipokine, down-regulated in obesity linked disorders. Here, we investigated the genotypic variability of adiponectin (at position; +T45G and +G276T) and its association with circulating adiponectin and metabolic syndrome in North Indian adult women.Methods: We compared metabolic syndrome (MetS; 269) women to without metabolic syndrome (wMetS; 272) women of North India. Genotype frequencies of the adiponect...
