Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a major risk factor of chronic-diseases, including cardiovascular-diseases (CVD). Increasing evidence is showing the association of heat-shock protein (HSP) with type-2 diabetes and CVD; however, there is little data on the relationship between the genetic-polymorphisms of HSP70-2 with obesity. AIM: The present study has investigated the association between 1267HSP70-2 genetic polymorphism...
