Abstract excerpt
We investigated the synergism between variants at the PPARγ locus (C161T and Pro12Ala polymorphisms) with insulin resistance on metabolic syndrome (MS). Five hundred twenty-two subjects were investigated for biochemical and anthropometric measurements. The diagnosis of MS was based on the IDF definition (2009). The HOMA 2 was used to determine HOMA-β, HOMA-S, and HOMA-IR from FPG and FPI concentrations. PCR-RFLP...
