The Ala allele of the Pro12Ala polymorphism (rs1801282) of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is protective against type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Resistin, secreted from adipocytes, causes insulin resistance in rodents. Resistin gene expression is reduced by the PPARgamma ligand. We previously reported that subjects with the G/G genotype of a resistin gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at -420 (rs1862513) had the highest circulating resistin levels, followed by C/G and C/C. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship among PPARgamma Pro12Ala polymorphism, resistin SNP-420, and plasma resistin.
