Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association of promoter polymorphisms of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene with obesity. SUBJECTS: In total, 213 nondiabetic Japanese subjects. They were divided into three groups according to World Health Organization definitions: lean (body mass index (BMI) <25 kg/m2), overweight (25 < or = BMI < 30 kg/m2) and obese (BMI> or = 30 kg/m2). METHODS: We examined two...
