Introduction of DNA Variants to Combat
Insulin Resistance
Genesis Linares
Predictors- AOPP oxidative
stress markers- Glucose,
cortisone, leptin levels
- Gender- Age
Obesity-BMI- HOMA-IR scale
Insulin Resistance Research
Role of specific UCP2- UCP3 alleles.
Increased need for large studies to be done on the role that UCPs play in controlling insulin resistance.
Improving UCP2-UCP3 research

Hypothesis:The UPC2- UPC3 C alleles are
responsible for warding off the development of insulin resistance in the adolescent population.
Ethics:- Informed Consent
(informing parents)- Fasting regimen- Minimal Risk
Procedures:- Obtain an a total of 30
participants:• 10- Obese, non- insulin
resistant• 10- Obese, insulin resistant• 10- Non-obese, insulin
resistant • (BMI (27.02) and Protein
Oxidative Marker, AOPP)- Mean age of 13- Concentrate on the C allele,-Blood Samples every other
week (12 hr fasting) - Anthropometric
measurements
Method
◦ Shows importance of UPC2- UPC3 to insulin resistance
◦ Furthers studies that have been made.◦ Helps support an arising idea◦ Leads to further research and analyses◦ Will aid in bettering medication
