Half the U.S. population carries a gene variant which causes them to metabolize fat differently and may hurt their ability to remove sugar from the blood [1]. This difference is related to Diabetes.
[PMID 17209184] FABP2 Ala54Thr genotype is associated with glucoregulatory function and lipid oxidation after a high-fat meal in sedentary nondiabetic men and women. FABP2 Thr54 carriers have lower glucose tolerance and lower insulin action than do Ala54-homozygous persons. Furthermore, FABP Thr54 carriers have higher lipid oxidation rates, which may be the mechanism of glucoregulatory dysfunction.
