PPAR-Gamma Pro12Ala Polymorphism and Gastric Cancer Risk in a Turkish Population
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a ligand dependent transcription factor involved in various processes, including carcinogenesis. We aimed to investigate any possible association of the PPARγPro12Ala (rs1801282) polymorphism with risk of developing gastric cancer (GC).A hospital based case control study was designed covering ...

The Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ2 Pro12Ala Polymorphism [PDF]
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ is a transcription factor with a key role in adipocyte differentiation. The Ala allele of the common Pro12Ala polymorphism in the isoform PPAR-γ2 is associated with reduced risk for type 2 diabetes. The effect on the individual is weak, but because of a prevalence of >75% of the high-risk Pro ...

Genotype Phenotype Correlation of Genetic Polymorphism of PPAR Gamma Gene and Therapeutic Response to Pioglitazone in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus-A Pilot Study [PDF]
Introduction: Pro12Ala polymorphism is a missense mutation at codon 12 in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ gene (PPARG). This polymorphism is known to be associated with increased insulin sensitivity. Pioglitazone, a thiazolidinedione, is

Obesity and diabetes mellitus are considered the most important diseases of the XXI century. Recently, many epidemiological studies have linked exposure to pesticides to the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The role of pesticides and their possible influence on the development of these diseases was investigated by examining the ...

Relationship between PPAR‐γ gene polymorphisms and ischemic stroke risk: A meta‐analysis
Ischemic strokes (IS) are one of the most common diseases resulting in disabilities and death among adults. Our meta‐analysis indicated that the individuals with G mutation of rs1801282 C/G polymorphism would face an increased risk of IS. But there was no significant association between rs3856806 C/T polymorphism and IS risk.

The Pro12Ala PPARγ2 Variant Determines Metabolism at the Gene-Environment Interface [PDF]
The metabolic impact of the common peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma isoform 2 (PPARgamma2) variant Pro12Ala in human populations has been widely debated. We demonstrate, using a Pro12Ala knockin model, that on chow diet, Ala/Ala mice are leaner, have improved insulin sensitivity and plasma lipid profiles, and have longer lifespans. Gene-

Pro12Ala substitution in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) gene and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between Pro12Ala substitution in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARy) gene and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

A Possible Role for the PPARG Pro12Ala Polymorphism in Preterm Birth [PDF]
The links between preterm birth, low birth weight, and adult vascular/metabolic morbidity remain unclear. Genetic susceptibility of babies related to these three conditions might contribute to this long-term association. We tested whether the Pro12Ala polymorphism of the peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor γ (PPARG) gene could play a role in ...
