Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether a substitution of glutamine by glutamic acid at amino acid position 27 (Q/E27) and an arginine to glycine transition at amino acid 16 (R/G16) in the beta2-adrenoceptor gene are associated with lipid and lipoprotein disturbances and/or increased body weight in men.
