[Effect of a Mediterranean-pattern diet on the metabolic response secondary to weight loss; role of the single nucleotide polymorphism (rs16147) of neuropeptide Y].

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Background and aims: intervention studies that evaluate the effect of rs16147 on metabolic response and weight change after dietary intervention are scarce. We propose to evaluate the role of the rs16147 genetic variant in the metabolic effects produced by a hypocaloric Mediterranean-pattern diet with high content of omega-9. Material and methods: a sample of 363 obese subjects was recruited. At the...
