Abstract excerpt
AIMS: APPL1 (adaptor protein containing PH domain, PTB domain and leucine zipper motif 1) is the first identified cytosolic protein that directly binds to adiponectin receptors and mediates cellular responses to adiponectin. We set out to determine whether genetic variation within the APPL locus (encoding APPL1) contributes to insulin resistance, changes in lipid metabolism or inflammatory parameters in a healthy...
