Abstract excerpt
Adipose tissue androgen turnover, dictated at least in part by the enzymes aldo-keto reductase 1 C type 2 (AKR1C2) and aldo-keto reductase 1 C type 3 (AKR1C3), has been linked to abdominal obesity. Recently, we investigated a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) named rs28571858, that might increase AKR1C2 and AKR1C3 expression in human adipose tissue. Here, we studied the impact of rs28571848 on adipose tissue...
