Microsatellite polymorphism of the human leptin gene and risk of obesity.

Journal of critical care - 1 Sept 2008

Gardezi Abeeha Z, Ziaei Yalda Z, Marashi Sahar M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Leptin is a hormone mainly produced by adipose tissue. It acts on both energy intake and expenditure to maintain relative stability of body weight and energy storage over long period of time. Variation in size of the tetranucleotide repeat located at the 3' end of leptin gene (LEP3'HVR) can influence leptin expression. OBJECTIVES: To predict the association of LEP3'HVR and obesity. MATERIALS AND...
