Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The beta(2)-adrenergic receptors are important for adipocyte lipolysis regulation by catecholamines in humans. The beta(2)-adrenoceptor gene is highly polymorphic. The role of these genetic variations for adipocyte lipolysis was investigated. DESIGN AND METHODS: Six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promotor region and four SNPs in the coding region (leading to amino-acid...
