Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the Trp64Arg polymorphism of the beta(3)-adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB3) is associated with weight changes in obese Japanese men at 4-year follow-up. The participants were 145 obese Japanese men [age: 35.8+/-5.3 y; body mass index (BMI): 27.5+/-3.3 kg/m(2)].
