Abstract | OBJECTIVE: The apelinergic system has been previously described to participate in fluid homeostasis, cardiac contractility, blood pressure and neo-vascularization. The role of apelin in obesity and glucose metabolism has also lately gained interest; however, it still remains obscure. This study aimed to assess serum apelin levels in obese youngsters and to investigate any possible association with the G212A polymorphism of the apelin receptor (APLNR) gene. |
