OBJECTIVE: Obesity may be accompanied by enhanced metabolic disturbances but not all obese patients suffer from metabolic syndrome. Since metabolic homeostasis is under control of genetic factors underlying expression of adipokines, we aimed to compare the serum concentrations of adiponectin and resistin, and polymorphism in their genes.....
