Multimers and adiponectin gene 276G>T polymorphism in the Japanese population residing in rural areas

Background: Although it has been shown that high-molecular weight adiponectin is an active form, few studies have attempted to clarify the relationship between high molecular weight adiponectin and markers linked with cardiovascular diseases in the general population.

Methods: We screened 236 Japanese study participants recruited from the general population, residing in one large and four small islands...
