Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Insulin resistance is characterized by impaired biological response of peripheral tissues to the metabolic effects of insulin. Organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) is responsible for 80% metformin clearance. Limited information is available on the potential relationship between genetic variants of OCT2 and insulin resistance. In this study, we examined the role of OCT2-T201M (602 C>T) variant in insulin...
