PPARγ2 Pro12Ala Polymorphism is Associated in Children With Traits Related to Susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a ligand-activated nuclear receptor that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. Pharmacological activators of PPARγ are being used as a treatment of obesity related disorders such as dyslipidaemia and type 2 diabetes, but questions remain...
