Background Adipose tissue is an important endocrine organ that secretes a number of adipokines, such as adiponectin ( ADIPOQ ), leptin ( LEP ), leptin receptor ( LEPR ), and resistin ( RETN ) which may be implicated in obesity. Some adipokines’ polymorphisms of genes might influence their concentrations and/or activities. Our aim was to study the relationship between seven SNP s in ADIPOQ (+45T
