Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARG) plays a pivotal role in adipogenesis and glucose homeostasis. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether PPARG gene variants were associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk in the multiethnic Women's Health Initiative (WHI). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We assessed PPARG single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a case-control study nested in the prospective...
