Associations of PON1 and genetic ancestry with obesity in early childhood.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Huen Karen, Harley Kim, Beckman Kenneth, Eskenazi Brenda, Holland Nina

Abstract excerpt

Obesity in children has become an epidemic in the U.S. and is particularly prominent in minority populations such as Mexican-Americans. In addition to physical activity and diet, genetics also plays a role in obesity etiology. A few studies in adults and adolescents suggest a link between obesity and paraoxonase 1 (PON1), a multifunctional enzyme that can metabolize organophosphate pesticides and also has...
