Abstract excerpt

The Trp64Arg variant of the beta3-adrenergic receptor (beta3-AR) gene is relatively common in Japanese people. We hypothesized that this variant may be associated with obesity and insulin resistance when combined with a westernized lifestyle. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the relationships between the beta3-AR gene variant and obesity and insulin resistance in Japanese-American men, who are known to...
