Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) genotype and body composition.

European journal of human genetics : EJHG - 1 May 2004

Abstract excerpt

Exogenous ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) administration causes significant weight loss in both humans and animal models, but the effects of endogenous CNTF and the CNTF null allele on body composition are not fully understood. A recent study in a European cohort demonstrated a significantly h...
