Preproghrelin Leu72Met variant contributes to overweight in middle-aged men of a Japanese large cohort.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Nov 2006

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether Leu72Met polymorphism of the preproghrelin gene is associated with overweight/obesity in middle-aged and older Japanese. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis. SUBJECTS: A total of 2238 community-dwelling middle-aged and older Japanese people (age: 40-79 years) who pa...
