Conversely, a non-coding variant in the promoter (−55C > T, rs1800849) of another member of the UCP family, the uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) gene has been correlated with low insulin sensitivity, IR, reduced adiponectin secretion, moderate-severe hepatic steatosis and inflammation in obese NAFLD individuals [228]. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is Hepatic steatosis.
