Abstract excerpt
The alpha(2) Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein (AHSG) gene is implicated in the regulation of body fat and insulin sensitivity. The Met/Met genotype of the common single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs4917, in the AHSG gene has been shown to be associated with reduced plasma levels as well as lower body fat. Here, we studied the association of this variation with subcutaneous adipocyte lipolysis. Ninety-three obese...
