Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Expression of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein delta (C/EBP-delta) gene is enhanced in the early initial stage of adipocyte differentiation. This study is intended to elucidate the association between the genetic variation of C/EBP-delta and metabolic phenotypes. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Subjects were unselected 52 males and 120 females in Japan, aged 40 to 79 years, who visited a city hygienic center for...
