Variation in the FFAR1 gene modifies BMI, body composition and beta-cell function in overweight subjects: an exploratory analysis
Background FFAR1 receptor is a long chain fatty acid G-protein coupled receptor which is expressed widely, but found in high density in the pancreas and central nervous system. It has been suggested that FFAR1 may play a role in insulin sensitivity, lipotoxicity and is associated with type 2 diabete...
