Sirtuin 1 gene polymorphisms are associated with body fat and blood pressure in Japanese.

Abstract excerpt

Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a longevity gene that protects cells against oxidative and genotoxic stress. This study aimed to investigate the associations of SIRT1 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs7895833, rs7069102, and rs2273773, with various laboratory data in 1279 Japanese health checkup examinees. The genotyping was performed using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with confronting 2-pair primers...
