Description xv, 320 leaves : illustrations ; 30 cm Summary Metabolism in Psammomys obesis, a polygenic animal model of obesity and type 2 diabetes is associated with dysregulated nocturnal fat oxidation in diabetic animals. Furthermore, a new gene called AGT-203 has been identified. Evidence indicates that AGT-203 is involved in abnormal glucose metabolism leading to the proposition that AGT-203 is a new candidate gene for type 2 diabetes Notes Submitted to the School of Health Sciences of the Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences, Deakin University Thesis (Ph.D.)--Deakin University, Victoria, 2002 Bibliography Bibliography: leaves 260-320 Subject Non-insulin-dependent diabetes -- Etiology.
