[The results of the present study suggest that the 12Glu9 polymorphism of the alpha(2B)-adrenergic receptor gene modulates autonomic nervous function in Finnish nondiabetic men.

Furthermore, this association is accentuated by central obesity.]. Sentence from MEDLINE/PubMed, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
