Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Human and animal studies provide evidence for a relevant role of the leptin receptor (LEPR) and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) genes in energy homeostasis. AIM: To assess the association between human LEPR and BDNF genetic variants with adult obesity. DESIGN AND METHOD...
