Background People may have different responses to the same environmental changes. It has been reported that genome variations may be responsible for these differences. Also, HDL subfractions may be influenced by different genetic variations. The aim of the present study was to determine gene-diet interactions and to evaluate the influence of weight loss on HDL subfractions between two genotypes of...
Obesity, currently affecting more than one third of all adults in the United States, is a complex disease with a multifactorial etiology involving genetic and environmental factors. Public health prevention programs designed to reduce the risk and occurrence of obesity and overweight commonly focuses on modifiable environments and behaviors such as diet and physical activity with varied results among...
Cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) facilitates reverse cholesterol transport via HDL-C and this activity may be increased in obese subjects. In normal weight subjects the Taq1B variant of the CETP gene is associated with lower CETP activity and higher HDL-C. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the Taq1B polymorphism and HDL-C in obese women before and after weight...
