Abstract excerpt
The polymorphisms in the uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1, A to G) and beta3-adrenergic receptor (beta3-AR, Trp64Arg) genes have been suggested to be associated with an increased tendency to gain weight. We investigated the frequency of the A to G polymorphism of the UCP1 gene and its effect on basal m...
