The effect of polymorphism in the intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene on fat metabolism is associated with gender and obesity amongst non-diabetic Japanese-Americans.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: The role of the codon 54 polymorphism of the fatty acid-binding protein 2 (FABP2) gene on fat metabolism has been controversial. Assuming that the effects of the polymorphism were modulated by gender and obesity which were related to lipid and glucose metabolism, we investigated this polymorphism and its effect on fat metabolism according to such factors. METHODS: Subjects were Japanese-Americans (123 men...
