Leptin Gene and Leptin Receptor Gene Polymorphisms Are Associated with Sweet Preference and Obesity

1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

Leptin is an adipocyte-secreted hormone that regulates food intake and body weight, and that was recently reported to suppress sweet sensitivity in an animal model. We investigated the associations among sweet preference, obesity, and polymorphisms of the leptin gene (LEP) or leptin receptor gene (LEPR). A total of 3,653 residents randomly selected from among the citizens of Suita City, Osaka, Japan were enlisted...
