Abstract     Despite increasing evidence of adiponectin&x02BC;s anti-inflammatory and antiatherogenic effects, its role in atherogenesis remains uncertain. The aim of the present study is to investigate the association between +45T>G abd +276G>T polymorphisms of the adiponectin gene and both plasma adiponectin levels and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2
