Do USF1 usf1s1 T and usf1s2 A alleles improve insulin sensitivity and reduce free fatty acid levels?

USF1 Alleles & Insulin Sensitivity1 min readUpdated May 31, 2026

What the Evidence Shows

We’ve reviewed one assertion about USF1 gene variants and found that 33.0 studies or observations support the idea that people with the USF1 s1 T and USF1 s2 A alleles may have improved insulin sensitivity and lower free fatty acid levels. Specifically, these genetic variants appear to be linked to...
