Abstract | OBJECTIVE: DESIGN AND METHODS: RESULTS:
Resistin levels were higher, dose-dependently, with the -420G allele (CC 5.9 +/- 2.7 ng/ml, GC 6.5 +/- 4.0 ng/ml and GG 7.2 +/- 4.8 ng/ml, trend P = 0.04) after age and gender adjustment [fold higher for GC + GG vs. CC; 1.07 (1.00-1.15), P < 0.05)]. The -852A>G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was associated with higher soluble tumour necrosis factor-receptor 2 ( sol- TNFR2) levels in fully adjusted models [1.06 (95% CI 1.01-1.11), P = 0.01)]. The estimated resistin haplotype (GGT) was associated with sol- TNFR2 (P = 0.04) and the AGT haplotype was related to CRP (P = 0.04) in the fully adjusted models. Resistin SNPs and haplotypes were not associated with body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, adipokines or CAC scores. CONCLUSIONS:
