Abstract excerpt
Both type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and familial combined hyperlipidemia have been mapped to human chromosome 1q21-q24. This region includes the retinoid X receptor gamma (RXRgamma), which is a strong candidate for both glucose and lipid metabolism. Retinoid X receptors form heterodimers with a variety of nuclear receptors, including peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors alpha and gamma (PPARalpha and PPARgamma),...
