Haugen and coworkers [77] analyzed the adiponectin status in maternal samples in pre-eclamptic mothers and observed that the concentration of adiponectin in the plasma of the mothers with preeclampsia (18.3 ± 2.2 μg/mL) was significantly higher in comparison to physiological pregnancy (12.2 ± 1.1 μg/mL). The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is preeclampsia.
