Abstract excerpt
Leptin levels and oxidative stress are implicated in obesity risk. Reports of association of leptin gene (LEP) and leptin receptor gene (LEPR) polymorphisms with leptin elevation are contradictory in a diverse population. Only a few studies report the linkage of obesity with biochemical markers and genetic factors. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine whether plasma lipid peroxidation, antioxidant...
