Abstract excerpt
Context: The bone-derived adipokine lipocalin-2 is relevant for body weight regulation by stimulating the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Objective: We aimed to (i) detect variants in the lipocalin-2 gene (LCN2) which are relevant for body weight regulation and/or anorexia nervosa (AN); (ii) describe and characterize the impact of LCN2 and MC4R variants on circulating lipocalin-2 level. Methods: Sanger sequencing of...
