- Abstract
TRIB3, a mammalian tribbles homologue, affects insulin signalling and action by inhibiting Akt phosphorylation. A TRIB3 Q84R gain-of-function polymorphism has been associated with insulin resistance both in vitro and in vivo and with several atherosclerotic phenotypes, including increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). We wanted to replicate this latter association and, if so, to get deeper insights about the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of the TRIB3 Q84R polymorphism in atherosclerosis.
