Abstract excerpt
The beta(3)-adrenergic receptor (AR) gene variant (Trp64Arg) has been reported to be associated with obesity and insulin resistance in humans. However, this association remains controversial. We investigated the relationships between the beta(2)-AR gene variant (Gln27Glu) and obesity, insulin resistance, and serum lipids in Japanese-Americans. The frequency of an abnormal Gln27Glu allele in the beta(2)-AR gene in...
