Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is mainly determined by fat-free mass and additionally by age, sex, hormones, and possibly genetic differences. We evaluated whether leptin levels and polymorphisms in the leptin receptor (LEPR) gene were associated with energy expenditure phenotypes. METHODS: RMR, body composition, and leptin levels were measured in 125 overweight and obese women. Three LEPR polymorphisms,...
