Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the association of different genotypes in C161-->T substitution in exon 6 of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) gene with bone turnover markers, bone mineral density (BMD), and serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) in female subjects to reveal the role of PPARgamma in bone. STUDY DESIGN: In 263 healthy Korean women (mean age 52 years), anthropometric measurements were taken...
