The Pro12Ala polymorphism of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARgamma(2)) is associated with reduced risk for type 2 diabetes. Although increased insulin sensitivity of glucose disposal and lipolysis has been reported, the exact mechanism by which the risk reduction is conferred is not clear. Because the conclusion of greater insulin sensitivity hinged upon lower insulin levels in some studies,...
