Genetic variation in the adiponectin receptor 2 (<it>ADIPOR2</it>) gene is associated with coronary artery disease and increased ADIPOR2 expression in peripheral monocytes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Adiponectin is an adipose tissue secreted protein known for its insulin sensitising and anti-atherogenic actions. To this date two adiponectin receptors have been discovered, adiponectin receptor 1 (ADIPOR1) and adiponectin receptor...
