Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Lower resting energy expenditure (REE) in African American women may contribute to their obesity. The identification of uncoupling protein (UCP) genes has fueled a search for genes involved in energy metabolism in humans. OBJECTIVE: We examined variation in REE in relation to variation in UCP1, UCP2, and UCP3 in 141 women aged 18-21 y. DESIGN: Standard methods were used for REE measurements and...
