Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The type 2 deiodinase (D2) is a key enzyme for intracellular triiodothyronine (T(3)) generation. A single-nucleotide polymorphism in D2 (Thr92Ala) has been associated with increased insulin resistance in nondiabetic and type 2 diabetes (DM2) subjects. Our aim was to evaluate whether the D2 Thr92Ala polymorphism is associated with increased risk for DM2. DESIGN AND METHODS: A case-control study with...
