Are polymorphisms of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ ( rs1801282 ) and its coactivator-1 ( rs8192673 ) associated with obesity indexes in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
In a large sample of the Caucasians the rs8192673 of the PGC-1α gene and the rs1801282 of the PPAR-γ gene were associated with waist circumference in subjects with T2DM.
We conclude that postoperative cell-mediated immune function varies inversely with the degree of surgical trauma. Results from the minilaparotomy and laparoscopy groups suggest that procedures done through small incisions may result in preservation of postoperative immune function.
