Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) is a transcription factor involved in adipogenesis and hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that adipose tissue C/EBPalpha regulates genes in lipid and glucose metabolism and to test for an association between a polymorphism in C/EBPalpha and metabolic parameters. DESIGN AND METHODS: Adipose...
