Polymorphism of adiponectine (APM1) gene in +276G > T position was studied. For this research we used blood samples of 103 donors (men/women: 65/38; 70 Ukrainian, 33 Russian) - habitants of Kharkiv. Frequencies of T and G alleles were pT = 0.55 and pG = 0.45 in a general group. They did not meaningfully differentiate either for men and women or for Russians and Ukrainians. Distribution of genotypes did not correspond to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: share of heterozygotes was 1.55 times higher than selectively-neutral value, share of TT homozygote is 0.55, and GG homozygote is 0.33 of equilibrium value.

Background: Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) is an important regulator of lipid metabolism. We aimed to investigate the difference of ANGPTL8 expression in different depots of adipose tissues between individuals with and without obesity, and its correlation with various metabolic parameters.
Methods: Subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) samples were collected from patients who underwent bariatric or intra-abdominal surgery.

Adiponectin reportedly stimulates proliferation and elongation of human scalp hair follicles (HFs) ex vivo. In the current study, we investigated how adiponectin oligomers produced by perifollicular dermal white adipose tissue (dWAT), a potent source of adiponectin isoforms, influence human HF proliferation and pigmentation. To do so, we treated microdissected, organ-cultured HFs in the presence or absence of dWAT with a recombinant human adiponectin oligomer mix, or inhibited dWAT-derived adiponectin using a neutralizing antibody.

Backgrounds: Adiponectin (apM1) may affect insulin sensitivity, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) can inhibit the binding of insulin and insulin receptors. However, whether and genes influence the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) preceded by insulin resistance is unclear. The current study examines the interactions between the +45 genotypes, -308 genotypes, and insulin resistance on the occurrence of MetS.

This study aimed at assessing the association of maternal diabetes mellitus (DM), the adiponectin gene (APM1) gene polymorphisms, and their interactions with risk of congenital heart disease (CHD) in offspring.A case-control study of 464 mothers of CHD patients and 504 mothers of healthy children was conducted.After adjusting for potential confounding factors, our study suggested that mothers with gestational DM (GDM) during this pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR = 2.

Dengue virus (DENV) is an important flavivirus that is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes, where it can establish a persistent infection underlying vertical and horizontal transmission. However, the exact mechanism of persistent DENV infection is not well understood. Recently miR-927 was found to be upregulated in C6/36-HT cells at 57 weeks of persistent infection (C6-L57), suggesting its participation during this type of infection.
