title: Aberrant expression of perilipins and 11-beta-HSD-1 as molecular signatures of metabolic syndrome X in south east Asians.
abstract: Metabolics syndrome is common in SE Asian. An hypothesis that aberrant expression of perilipins and 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 (11-beta-HSD-1) enzyme plays a significant role in the development of metabolic syndrome X in Indians is proposed. Thus, methods designed to target perilipins and 11-beta-HSD-1 may form a novel approach in the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome X.
