Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 (PPARGC1) is a transcriptional coactivator that has been implicated in the regulation of genes involved in energy metabolism. We studied associations of two polymorphisms identified in PPARGC1 transcripts with obesity indices in 591 middle-aged men and 467 middle-aged women of a cross-sectional Austrian population. Because neither polymorphic site was...
