In adipose tissue biopsies from T2DM patients, GRET-39 mRNA levels are reduced by 60-70% compared to healthy controls. This downregulation correlates with impaired insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Animal models with adipose-specific GRET-39 knockout develop severe hyperglycemia and hepatic steatosis, phenocopying features of poorly controlled diabetes.
