Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: A number of candidate genes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity in humans. This study examines associations between longitudinal changes in body mass and composition and the presence of polymorphisms in the beta-3 adrenergic receptor, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, leptin, and leptin receptor (Lepr) in a cohort of Australian women. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Healthy white Australian...
