Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has an increased expression in the adipose tissue of obese subjects and is involved in insulin resistance. AIM: To screen for associations between -308G/A, -238G/A, -376G/A and -163G/A genetic variants of the TNF-alpha gene, diabetes and obesity-related variables. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A group of 263 elderly women aged 60-90 years were recruited. Among them, an...
