Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Little is known about genes that affect childhood body weight. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the association between alleles of the mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) gene and obesity because UCP2 may influence energy expenditure. DESIGN: We related UCP2 genotype to body composition and resting energy expenditure in 105 children aged 6-10 y. Overweight children and...
