Abstract excerpt
Genes involved in the regulation of catecholamine function may be important in obesity because of the role catecholamines play in energy expenditure and lipolysis. To determine if common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in beta(1)-adrenergic receptor (ADRB1), beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2), beta(3)-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3), and alpha(2)-adrenergic receptor (ADRA2A) genes associate with obesity and...
