The role of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) on the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its chronic complications

1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

It is well established that genetic factors play an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and its chronic complications, and that genetically susceptible subjects can develop the disease after being exposed to environmental risk factors. Therefore, great efforts have been made to identify genes associated with DM2. Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is expressed in several tissues, and acts...
