Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the impact of a three-amino acid deletion (12Glu9) polymorphism in the alpha(2B)-adrenergic receptor gene on autonomic nervous function. The short form (Glu(9)/Glu(9)) of the polymorphism has previously been associated with a reduced basal metabolic rate in obese subjec...
