Table 3 Parameters of glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and inflammation in patients without (AdipoR2) and with the adiponectin receptor 2 SNP cluster (AdipoR2-SNP) after 12 weeks of placebo or telmisartan treatment. Data are presented as median and interquartile range.

From: Genetic variants of adiponectin receptor 2 are associated with increased adiponectin levels and decreased triglyceride/VLDL levels in patients with metabolic syndrome
