Lack of association of ghrelin precursor gene variants and percentage body fat or serum lipid profiles.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Apr 2008

Martin Glynn R, Loredo J C, Sun Guang

Abstract excerpt

Ghrelin has been recognized for its involvement in food intake, control of energy homeostasis, and lipid metabolism. However, the roles of genetic variations in the ghrelin precursor gene (GHRL) on body compositions and serum lipids are not clear in humans. Our study investigated five single-nucl...
