Abstract excerpt
A previous report describes that neuropeptide Y (NPY)/NPY2 receptor (NPY2R) is involved in stress-induced visceral obesity. This is a report clarifying the effect on metabolic parameters of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the 5'-flanking region of NPY2R gene. Study participants are 317 people (98 men and 219 women, 40-79 years old) undergoing health checkups. The single nucleotide polymorphism typing of...
