Identification of genes contributing to the obese yellow Avy phenotype: caloric restriction, genotype, diet x genotype interactions.

Abstract excerpt

The incidence and severity of obesity and type 2 diabetes are increasing in Western societies. The progression of obesity to type 2 diabetes is gradual with overlapping symptoms of insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemias, ion imbalance, and inflammation; this complex syndrome has been called diabesity. We describe here comparisons of gene expression in livers of A/a (agouti) vs. A(vy)/A...
