Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gene plays an important role in obesity and PPAR δ protein is a potent inhibitor; however, few previous studies have focused on this gene. AIM: To investigate the association of haplotypes of PPAR δ gene rs2016520 and rs9794 with abnormal weight (BMI ≥ 24 kg/m(2)) and abdominal obesity (WC ≥ 90 cm for males and ≥ 80 cm for females) in a Chinese Han...
