Background: ENSANUT 2012 showed a combined prevalence of overweight and obesity of 34.4% in Mexican children. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ADIPOQ and ADIPOR2 genes have been reported in many populations, but their association with obesity has not been confirmed in other studies. Our aim was to determine the association of SNPs from ADIPOQ and ADIPOR2 genes with obesity in Mexican children.
Methods: A total of 2,634 children from 6 to 12 years old were enrolled in the study from four IMSS Units in Mexico City. We selected 1,469 unrelated children (745 normal weight and 724 overweight/obese). Phenotype characterization included anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, biochemical parameters, insulin concentrations and presence of acanthosis nigricans (AN). Analysis of the SNPs rs182052, rs266729, rs2241766, rs822393 of ADIPOQ and rs11061971 of ADIPOR2 was carried out in the DNA samples.
Results: The study showed significant differences (p <0.05) between groups in waist circumference, blood pressure, presence of AN, insulin concentrations, HOMA-IR, fasting glucose and lipid parameters, being higher in obese children. No associations in ADIPOQ variants with the presence of overweight/obesity were found. The presence of the variant rs11061971 of ADIPOR2 in children had a significant association with protection of overweight/obesity (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.68-0.93, p = 0.003). Also, the log-additive model confirmed the association by codominant and dominant models (p <0.05).
Conclusions: The presence of rs11061971 of ADIPOR2 variant confers protection against obesity and could be used as a marker in Mexican children.

Background And Aim: Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) gene is considered to be one of the promising players in deciphering the genetic bases of type 2 diabetes. This study investigated the associations between haplotype combinations of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ADIPOQ gene and two SNPs of the adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) and 2 (AdipoR2) genes with environmental risk factors for the prediction of T2DM disorder susceptibility in the Iranian population.
Methods: This case-control and cross-sectional study was conducted on 182 patients with T2DM and 155 healthy controls.

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a common monogenic disorder characterized by renal cysts and progressive renal failure. In kidney diseases, adipose tissue undergoes functional changes that have been associated with increased inflammation and insulin resistance mediated by release of adipokines. Adiponectin is involved in various cellular processes, such as energy and inflammatory and oxidative processes.

Context: Obesity is a risk factor for the development of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). However, the molecular mechanisms by which obesity promotes PTC are unclear.
Objective: This study aims to identify adipokines that are linked to PTC progression.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that leads to joint destruction. Numerous pro-inflammatory mediators, including adipokines, play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA.
Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between selected plasma cytokines and expression of adiponectin and its receptors in the synovium and the infrapatellar fat pad in patients with RA and osteoarthritis (OA).

Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the expression levels of adipokines, specifically adiponectin and visfatin, in broiler and layer chicken embryos, discovering that these substances are more highly expressed in layers, particularly in extra-embryonic membranes as the embryo develops.
- - Results indicated that adiponectin, along with its receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2), and visfatin showed increased expression through various stages of embryo development, with notably higher levels observed in layers compared to broilers, especially at specific embryo days (ED).
- - The research also revealed a strong correlation between the concentrations of adiponectin and visfatin in amniotic fluid and embryo body weight; however, blocking adipon
