Abstract excerpt
Adrenaline plays a major role in the maintenance of blood glucose level by promoting glycogenolysis during prolonged exercise predominantly via the beta2 adrenergic receptor (beta2AR). Because beta2ARs are mainly present in the muscle and liver, beta2AR gene polymorphism may affect changes in glucose metabolism caused by exercise. We, therefore, investigated the effect of beta2AR gene polymorphism on glucose...
