However, there was no correlation of expression of TCF7L2 gene in visceral adipose tissue with fasting plasma glucose (p =0.15), HOMA-IR (p =0.12) or serum adiponectin levels (p =0.3).Also, there was no significant correlation of expression of TCF7L2 gene in subcutaneous adipose tissue with any of the PPTg, glycaemic or insulin resistance parameters. The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is Insulin resistance.
