Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is a transcriptional coactivator implicated in transcriptional programs of hepatic gluconeogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and insulin release by beta-cells. To study associations of the PGC-1alpha gene locus with carbohydrate metabolism and type 2 diabetes in humans, we identified several polymorphisms in the promoter region that were...
