Polymorphism of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene and obesity.

Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry - 1 Feb 2004

Um Jae-Young, Lee Kang-Min, Kim Hyung-Min

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cytokines appear to be major regulators of adipose tissue metabolism. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) serum concentrations are increased in human obesity, and are under strong genetic control. We tested the hypothesis that the IL-1ra gene might be a candidate for obesity. M...
