Abstract
Identification of the novel endocrine role of osteocalcin (OC) and its receptor GPRC6A has given rise to a new branch of research in OC/GPRC6A axis related to glucose metabolism. GPRC6A- and OC-deficient mice share features of the metabolic syndrome, in addition to male infertility. Recently, the polymorphism rs2274911 in GPRC6A was shown to be associated with testicular impairment. We aimed to investigate the role of rs2274911 polymorphism in glucose and lipid metabolism in a cohort of normal weight and obese subjects DESIGN, PATIENTS, SETTINGS: A total of 392 male and females, including 218 obese patients and 174 age-matched normal weight controls, were retrospectively selected.
