Abstract excerpt
Osteocalcin, a major inorganic component of bone matrix and marker of bone formation, is also involved in regulation of glucose and fat mass metabolism. However, much uncertainty remains about whether the above effect on fat mass has a genetic component. Our main aim was to test whether a variation of body composition phenotypes is associated with BGLAP genomic region variants. To achieve this aim, we used an...
