Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism is important in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)alpha is a master regulator of fatty acid catabolism, and PPARalpha activators delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. We examined association between three PPARalpha gene polymorphisms (an A-->C variant in intron 1, the L162V variant, and the intron 7 G-->C variant) and age at...
