Our study investigates the influence of the SNP +45 polymorphism of the adiponectin gene and serum levels of adiponectin on myocardial fibrosis in patients with essential hypertension.
Our findings suggest that increased SBP, DBP and resting HR as well as increased insulin and resistin plasma levels and decreased adiponectin plasma levels pre-exist in young healthy offspring with positive family history for essential hypertension.
