<h4>Background</h4>Adiponectin is an adipokine with insulin-sensitizing effects. We investigated the relationship between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) +45 T > G ( rs 2241766 ;Gly15Gly) in the adiponectin gene, serum adiponectin levels, insulin resistance and risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) in Iranian population.<h4>Methods</h4>65 GDM patients and 70 healthy pregnant women were enrolled in this study. Genotyping for SNP +45 T > G in the adiponectin gene ( rs 2241766 ) was performed ...[more]
