Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the additive effects of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) gene Ala55Val variation and ADR beta(3) gene Trp64Arg variation on the obesity in Chinese Han population. METHODS: The UCP2 gene Ala55Val variation and ADR beta(3) gene Trp64Arg variation were examined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) in 119 obese subject with mean BMI (27.9+/-2.98)kg/m(2)...
