Example sentences for: pima

How can you use “pima” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In addition to the original positive association between the A54T polymorphism and fasting plasma insulin concentration, fasting fat oxidation and glucose uptake in non-diabetic Pima Indians [ 9], positive association was also found with obesity [ 13, 14], 2-hour post-challenged insulin concentration [ 14], and various lipid metabolism [ 13, [ 28 29 30 ] ]. In the present study, we also demonstrated a positive quantitative association between this polymorphism and %S.
Subsequently, the A54T polymorphism was identified and was found to be associated with increased fatty acid binding protein, increased fat oxidation and increased insulin resistance in the Pima Indians [ 9].
In contrast, the marginal difference reflected a very modest influence on insulin sensitivity of the A54T polymorphism in the Pima Indian population, which is consistent with our observation that this polymorphism only accounted for 7.3% of the variation in %S in this Caucasian population.
Furthermore, the linkage of the FABP2 locus with insulin resistance (2-hour postchallenged insulin concentration) was also found in a Mexican-American population, which is genetically related to the Pima Indians [ 15].
Because it is a candidate gene at this locus, a search for a mutation was initiated and an Alanine (GCT) to Threonine (ACT) polymorphism at codon 54 was identified in Pima Indians [ 9].
