Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear hormone receptor that regulates a number of genes involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of C1431T and Pro12Ala polymorphisms of PPARγ gene and their haplotypes and diplotypes with risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in an Iranian population. A total of 340 unrelated Iranian...
