Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether the -3826 A-G point mutation of the uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) gene and the Trp64Arg mutation of the beta3-adrenergic receptor (beta3-AR) gene are associated with increased susceptibility to weight gain and hyperlipidemia in postmenopausal women. METHODS: We genotyped 312 Japanese women for UCP1 and beta3-AR gene polymorphisms, and investigated their effects on anthropometrical...
