Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a member of the adipocytokine family; it is implicated in tissue repair, regeneration, and angiogenesis. Several studies have reported that the HGF plays important role in obesity and cardiovascular disease. AIM: This study examines whether HGF and its phenotypic correlations with obesity and blood pressure (BP), in healthy individuals, are due to shared genetic or...
