Abstract excerpt
AIMS: While steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1) is traditionally an essential nuclear receptor for steroidogenic tissues, current emerging studies revealed that the receptor is also closely implicated in metabolism. Mutations of SF-1 gene cause metabolic disorders like obesity in both human and mice. The aim of the present study is to examine whether the Gly146Ala variation in the gene for SF-1, that is known to impair...
