Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism, diabetes, obesity, atherogenesis and inflammation. PPARγ genetic variation has been associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to explore, for the first time, the relationship between PPARγ C161T polymorphism and the risk of ischemic...
