Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Associations between FABP2 Ala54Thr polymorphism and increased fasting insulin concentration, fasting fatty acid oxidation and reduced glucose uptake have been identified in several populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of Ala54 Thr polymorphism of the FABP2 gene with insulin sensitivity in pubertal girls born small for gestational age (SGA). RESULTS: The frequency of...
