Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is linked to glucose, lipid, and protein metabolism. The α2A -adrenergic receptor (ADRA2A) is involved in the SNS and mediates inhibition of insulin secretion and lipolysis. The association of ADRA2A single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D) was investigated. DESIGN AND METHODS: Genotyping was performed in a case-control study...
