Association of UCP3 Gene –55C>T Polymorphism and Obesity in a Spanish Population

1 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) gene has been suggested as a possible determinant affecting obesity risk given its function in the regulation of energy metabolism. However, available genetic association studies have been inconsistent, which could be attributable to not considering individual lifestyle patterns, such as physical activity, a factor that affects UCP3 expression. The objective of...
