Nonetheless, our observation shows that this polymorphism is an independent determinant for insulin sensitivity and is in agreement with the notion that a higher level of vitamin D is associated with increased insulin sensitivity [ 32].
[ 14 ] found that cerebrovascular disease was associated with both the C/B genotype of the VNTR polymorphism (OR, 2.83; 95% CI, 1.16 to 7.07; P = 0.0114) and the β allele of the HPA-2 polymorphism.
3 [ 43 ] . Methylphenidate, the primary stimulant used in pharmacological treatment of ADHD, was shown by PET imaging to block the dopamine transporter [ 44 ] .
