Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the frequency of Arg64 allele of the beta(3)-adrenergic receptor (3-BAR) gene in healthy (H) and obese (O) Hungarian children, and to look for possible associations between this polymorphism and some clinical and metabolic characteristics of obese children. PATIENTS/METHODS: In all, 147 healthy (male: 68) and 295 obese (male: 168) children were examined. The average age of the children in...
