Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To verify whether peptide YY (PYY) and its Y2 receptor (Y2R) gene variants can be associated with obesity or hypertension or both in a cohort of obese children and adolescents. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred and twenty-nine obese children (105 girls, mean z-score BMI 5.1 +/- 2.4; me...
