OBJECTIVE: The Ala allele of the Pro12Ala polymorphism (rs1801282) of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is protective against type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Resistin, secreted from adipocytes, causes insulin resistance in rodents. Resistin gene expression is reduced by the PPARgamma ligand. We previously reported that subjects with the G/G genotype of a resistin gene single nucleotide...
