Assessment of 11-β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11-βHSD1) 4478T>G and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-308G>A polymorphisms with obesity and insulin resistance in Asian Indians in North India.

Abstract excerpt

11-β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11-βHSD1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and their role in obesity, regional adiposity and insulin resistance has been sparsely evaluated. We determined the polymorphic status of 11-βHSD1 4478T>G and TNF-α-308G>A in Asian Indians in north India. In this cross-sectional study (n = 498; 258 males, 240 females), association of genotypes (PCR–RFLP) of 11-βHSD1 and TNF-α were...
