A gene that may regulate the body's response to insulin has been linked to both obesity and type-2 diabetes, researchers in Britain and France reported on Monday (July 18). The discovery helps explain how being overweight is associated with type-2 or adult-onset diabetes, the researchers report in this week's issue of the journal Nature Genetics.
It may also some day offer new ways to treat the conditions, both of which are on the rapid rise across the world.
