Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The serotonergic system contributes substantially to the regulation of glucose homeostasis and feeding. 5-HTTLPR is a serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene-linked polymorphic region that regulates the transcriptional activity of 5-HTT. Our aim was to investigate the possible association of 5-HTTLPR polymorphism with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. METHODS: Study population consisted of 252 subjects...
