Association Between a Novel Variant of the Human Type 2 Deiodinase Gene Thr92Ala and Insulin Resistance
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Thyroid hormone action is an important determinant of energy and glucose metabolism. T4 metabolism is regulated by the deiodinases of which type 2 is expressed in humans in skeletal muscle and brown adipose tissue, where its transcription is stimulated by the beta-3 adrenergic pathway. We performed molecular scanning of the human type 2 deiodinase (DIO2) gene and evaluated a novel variant for associations with...
