Abstract excerpt
Polymorphism in the calpain-10 gene is linked to type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and decreased thermogenesis. In view of the role of beta-adrenoceptors in thermogenesis we investigated the relationship between beta(1)-, beta(2)-, and beta(3)-adrenoceptor-stimulated lipolysis in abdominal sc fat cells and 3 different previously described single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the calpain-10 gene (SNP-19,...
