Context: Excessive body iron stores are a risk factor for decreased insulin sensitivity (SI) and diabetes. We hypothesized that transcriptional dysregulation of genes involved in iron metabolism in adipocytes causes insulin resistance.
Objective And Design: To define the genetic regulation of iron metabolism and its role in SI, we used gene expression, genotype, and SI data from an African American cohort (N = 256).
