Our aim was to analyze the effects of rs1501299 ADIPOQ gene polymorphism on total adiponectin levels, insulinresistance and weight loss after a Mediterranean hypocaloric diet in obese subjects.Methods: A Caucasian population of 82 obese patients was analyzed, before and after3 months on a Mediterranean hypocaloric diet. Before and after 3 months on a hypocaloricdiet, an anthropometric evaluation, an assessment of nutritional intake and a biochemicalanalysis were performed.Results: After dietary treatment and in wild type group, weight, BMI, fat mass, leptin levels,systolic blood pressure and waist circumference decreases were similar to the mutant typegroup. In wild type group, the decrease in total cholesterol was 28.1 ± 15.3 mg/dl (mutantgroup: 12.6 ± 16.7 mg/dl:p = 0.009), LDL- cholesterol was 31.8 ± 20.5 mg/dl ( 12.2± 11.5 mg/dl:p = 0.006), fasting glucose plasma 4.8 ± 2.5 mg/dL ( 0.5 ± 0.1 mg/dL:p = 0.02),insulin 3.6 ± 1.5 mUI/L (+0.6 ± 1.1 mUI/L:p = 0.02) and HOMA-IR 1.2 ± 0.9 ( 0.1 ± 1.1:p = 0.03).Conclusion: The present study suggests that T allele of ADIPO (rs1501299) could be a predictor of a lack of response of HOMA-IR, insulin, fasting glucose and LDL cholesterol secondaryto a Mediterranean hypocaloric diet in obese subjects.
