Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Adipose tissue type 1 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11beta-HSD1), which generates hormonally active cortisol from inactive cortisone, has been shown to play a central role in adipocyte differentiation and abdominal obesity-related metabolic complications. The objective was to investigate whether genetic variations in the human 11beta-HSD1 gene are associated with the metabolic syndrome among French-Canadian men. We sequenced all exons, the exon-intron splicing boundaries, and 5' and 3' regions of the human 11beta-HSD1 gene in 36 men with the metabolic syndrome, as defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III, and two controls. Three intronic sequence variants were identified: two single-nucleotide polymorphisms in intron 3 (g.4478T>G) and intron 4 (g.10733G>C) and one insertion in intron 3 (g.4437-4438insA). The relative allele frequency was 19.6%, 22.1%, and 19.6% for the g.4478G, g.10733C, and g.4438insA alleles, respectively. One single-nucleotide polymorphism was identified in exon 6 (c.744G>C or G248G). The frequency of the c.744C allele was only 0.46% in a sample of 217 men. Variants were not associated with components of the metabolic syndrome except for plasma apolipoprotein B levels. In conclusion, molecular screening of the 11beta-HSD1 gene did not reveal any sequence variations that can significantly contribute to the etiology of the metabolic syndrome among French-Canadians.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
