Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) expression is increased in adipose tissue of both rodent models of obesity and obese humans. It has therefore been considered as a candidate gene for obesity. Several studies have indeed shown statistical evidence of linkage between obesity and the chromosomal region encompassing the TNF-alpha gene, suggesting that TNF-alpha and/or a nearby gene (eg hsp70 gene)...
