Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Circulating leptin levels show a high degree of individual variability even after the main effect of body fatness is accounted for. We therefore wanted to determine the roles of variation in body composition, age, sex and polymorphisms of the UCP2 gene and promoter region on levels of circulating leptin. SUBJECTS: One hundred and fifty Caucasian subjects, which represented a cross-section of the...
