Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To study the associations of seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) gene with the conversion from impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) to type 2 diabetes (T2D), and the interactions of the SNPs with physical activity (PA). METHODS: Overweight individuals with IGT who participated in the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study (DPS) (N = 479)...
