Abstract excerpt
The Pro12Ala polymorphism in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma2 gene is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. A beneficial effect on insulin sensitivity is reported in some but not all populations. It is possible that this genetic variant produces a characteristic phenotype only against a certain genetic background. We therefore tested the hypothesis that carriers of the Ala...
