Uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) gene expression in subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue of Asian Indians

1 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: UCP2 is a mitochondrial membrane transporter expressed in white adipose tissue and involved in regulation of energy balance. In this present study, we examined the depot specific comparison of UCP2 gene expression in different metabolic states, in order to explore the potential role of UCP2 in human obesity and diabetes. We also determined UCP2's association with adiponectin and insulin resistance with...
