Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine whether there was an association between body fat distribution, blood lipid profiles, and beta 3-adrenergic receptor gene polymorphism in Korean middle-aged women. Subjects were grouped according to BMI as obese (> or = 5 BMI, n = 95) or non-obese (BMI<25, n = 93). The Trp64Arg mutation of the beta 3-adrenergic receptor gene was detected by PCR-RFLP. Skinfold thickness, body...
