Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Insulin resistance (IR) is a disease with genetic susceptibility characterized by the increase in storage and irregular body fat distribution, and impaired production of adipokines. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to investigate the relationship between 3'UTR+62G>A RETN gene polymorphism, with adiponectin-resistin index (ARindex), adiposity, and inmuno-metabolic markers. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 260 individuals characterized as Mexican-Mestizo and classified in lean and overweight, and IR and without-IR, were included. Anthropometrics, body composition, body fat distribution and inflammation and metabolic markers were measured by routine methods, RETN 3'UTR+62G>A alleles were identified by PCR-RFLP and soluble insulin, total adiponectin and resistin were measured by ELISA methods. RESULTS: The +62G allele frequencies for lean and overweight individuals were different P=0.0343 (95.4% and 98.4%, respectively). The lean GA genotype carriers showed significant low measures of ARindex, adiposity, and inmuno-metabolic markers, than the GG genotype carriers. We found differences between individuals with IR and without-IR: in ARindex (P=0.002), adiponectin (P=0.002) and resistin levels (P=0.033): 1.102 ± 0.03, 5.167 ± 0.36 ug/mL and 8.827 ± 0.42 ng/mL versus 1.336 ± 0.07, 3.577 ± 0.34 ug/mL and 10.480 ± 0.65 ng/mL. Showed correlations with inflammation markers, distribution and body fat storage (r=0.262 to 0.414), P< 0.05. CONCLUSIONS: The present data suggest that in a Mexican-mestizo population the RETN +62G>A polymorphism is associated with overweight. The presence of the +62A allele was associated with increase of total adiponectin, ARindex, resistin levels, metabolic markers and body fat storage. ARindex can be an early indicator of insulin resistance. Copyright AULA MEDICA EDICIONES 2013. Published by AULA MEDICA. All rights reserved.
