Abstract excerpt
Background Smokers have lower body weight than non-smokers, while smoking cessation results in weight gain. Understanding the mechanisms involved can help identify potential therapeutic targets to enhance smoking cessation. Methods We measured plasma levels of growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), a stress-responsive protein, and its two receptors (proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret [RET],...
