Association of interleukin-6 polymorphisms with obesity and metabolic alterations in young Saudi population.

Molecular biology reports - 1 Mar 2014

Alharbi Khalid Khalaf, Syed Rabbani, Khan Imran Ali

Abstract excerpt

Rising levels of obesity are a global problem that is being exported from affluent to developing nations through the gradual "westernization of lifestyle". Population of Saudi Arabia is going through a nutrition transition where customary and traditional food is being replaced by fast food high in fat, sugar and salt. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a central player in the regulation of inflammation, haematopoiesis,...
