Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Low-grade inflammation has been related to obesity, insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome. The Asp358Ala variant and the CA-repeat polymorphism in the interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) gene have been reported to be associated with obesity in Pima Indians and Spanish women, respectively. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between these polymorphisms and obesity in a...
