Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We investigated the influence of Leptin (LEP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) SNPs on habitual physical activity (PA) and body composition response to a unilateral, upper body resistance training (RT) program. METHODS: European-derived American volunteers (men=111, women=131, 23.4 ± 5.4 yr, 24.4 ± 4.6 kg·m(-2)) were genotyped for LEP 19 G>A (rs2167270), and LEPR 326 A>G (rs1137100), 668 A>G (rs1137101), 3057...
