Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies identified genetic variants in FADS and ELOVL2 genes associated with obesity-related conditions, such as alterations in blood lipid parameters and insulin homeostasis. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine whether FADS and ELOVL2 genetic variants were associated with obesity and adiposity, besides dyslipidaemia and insulin resistance, in a large sample of obese...
