Abstract excerpt
Objective: Genetic variability significantly impacts metabolism, weight gain, and feeding behaviors, predisposing individuals to obesity. This study explored how variations in key genes related to obesity-FOXO3A (forkhead box O3), AMPK (protein kinase AMP-activated), and POMC (proopiomelanocortin)-are associated with extreme obesity (EOB). Methods: We conducted a case-control study with 251 EOB patients and 212...
