Abstract excerpt
A rare beta(2)-adrenoceptor gene polymorphism, Thr164Ile, has been described that impairs receptor function when transfected into cell lines. We investigated whether the polymorphism influences native receptor function by studying lipolysis in freshly isolated subcutaneous fat cells from 236 apparently healthy subjects. Twelve subjects were heterozygous for the 164Ile variant. The fat cells of Ile carriers...
