Abstract excerpt

Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is a member of the mitochondrial transporter superfamily. It is proposed as a candidate gene for obesity. A common G/A polymorphism in the promoter region of this gene is associated with enhanced adipose tissue mRNA expression in vivo. Using a PCR-RFLP method, we genot...
