Abstract excerpt
Obesity is often characterized by meta-inflammation and is influenced by the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Common features include impaired insulin action and elevated leptin concentrations, which are accompanied by a simultaneous reduction in sensitivity to these hormones. We hypothesized that single nucleotide variants in protein-coding genes and their receptors may...
