Abstract excerpt
The recently described variant of the human beta3-adrenergic receptor (AR) gene located mainly in visceral adipocytes is associated with earlier onset of NIDDM, abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, and an increased capacity to gain weight. We investigated whether lipolysis in human omental adip...
