Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The role of the leptin receptor (LEPR) gene Gln223Arg polymorphism on the metabolic and body composition changes in response to overfeeding was studied. SUBJECTS: Twelve pairs of male monozygotic twins ate a 4.2 MJ day-1 energy surplus, 6 days week-1, during a period of 100 days. RESULTS: Overfeeding induced a significantly greater increase in glucose (P = 0.001 for percentage change) and insulin (P =...
