The TNF- α Gene NcoI Polymorphism at Position –308 of the Promoter Influences Insulin Resistance, and Increases Serum Triglycerides after Postprandial Lipaemia in Familiar Obesity

Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), acting as a modulator of gene expression in adipocytes, has been linked to the development of insulin resistance and obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the A/G variation at position −308 in the TNFα promoter influences the body weight, ins...
