Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) has been shown to play an important role in adipocyte differentiation. A Pro12Ala substitution in PPAR gamma 2 has been reported to decrease receptor activity in vitro and to be associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes in the general population. Recently, a PPAR response element (PPRE) was identified in the adiponectin promoter, suggesting...
