Figure 2

The effect of the interaction between ADRB2 rs1042713 and PUFA intake on (a) HOMA-IR and (b) fasting insulin levels. PUFA intake was dichotomised into two groups by using the median value of 6% of TE/day (for all participants) for analysis. Gene-diet interaction was evaluated by using the multivariate general linear model after adjusting for age, gender, BMI, physical activity status, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and total energy intake. was considered statistically significant. PUFA: polyunsaturated fatty acid; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance.
