Abstract excerpt
The liver X receptors (LXRs)-α and -β play a crucial role in control of insulin production and secretion in pancreatic β-cells. We hypothesized that common variants in the NR1H2 and NR1H3 genes, encoding LXR-β and -α, respectively, may alter pancreatic β-cell function. One thousand five hundred s...
