Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A transition G to A at codon 54 of FABP2 results in an amino acid substitution (ala 54 to Thr 54). This polymorphism could be associated with insulin resistance and adipocytokines in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of Thr54 polymorphism in the FABP2 gene on adipocytokines and insulin resistance in the fasted state in naïve...
