Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A transition of guanin to alanin at codon 54 of the fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene (FABP2) results in an amino acid substitution (Ala54 to Thr54). This polymorphism was associated with some cardiovascular risk factors. OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of the Thr54 polymorphism in the FABP2 gene on obesity anthropometric parameters and cardiovascular risk factors in...
