Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Many studies have focused on the physiological parameters and genetic predisposition of subjects presenting both obesity and insulin resistance (IR) and it has been suggested that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPARgamma2) Pro12Ala variant may contribute to the observed variability in insulin sensitivity. We investigated whether the PPARgamma2 mRNA expression levels are...
