Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) is a member of the steroid hormone receptor super family involved in the control of cellular lipid utilization. This makes PPARalpha a candidate gene for type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. The aim of this study was to investigate whether genetic variation in the human PPARalpha gene can influence the risk of type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia among French...
