Journal ArticleDOI
Role of candidate genes in the responses to long-term overfeeding: review of findings.
Olavi Ukkola,Claude Bouchard +1 more
TL;DR: An overfeeding experiment conducted with 12 pairs of young male identical twins revealed that genetic factors were likely to play an important role in the response to caloric affluence, and an adipsin polymorphism was associated with increases in body weight, total fat mass and subcutaneous fat in response to overfeeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnic differences in self-reported and measured obesity.
TL;DR: Self‐reported height and weight portend underestimation of obesity prevalence and the effect varies by ethnicity and gender, however, comparisons depend on the true prevalence within ethnicity‐gender groups.
Journal Article
Familial resemblance for resting blood pressure with particular reference to racial differences: Preliminary analyses from the HERITAGE family study
C. Charles Gu,Ingrid B. Borecki,Jacques Gagnon,Claude Bouchard,Arthur S. Leon,James S. Skinner,Jack H. Wilmore,D. C. Rao +7 more
TL;DR: The finding that the magnitude of the familial correlations was higher in the black sample than in the white sample suggest that the effects of host and familial environmental factors differ between the races.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of regular exercise on homocysteine concentrations: the HERITAGE Family Study.
Tomohiro Okura,Tuomo Rankinen,Jacques Gagnon,Suzanne Lussier-Cacan,Jean Davignon,Arthur S. Leon,D. C. Rao,James S. Skinner,Jack H. Wilmore,Claude Bouchard +9 more
TL;DR: Regular aerobic exercise has favorable effects on individuals with hyperhomocysteinemia, but tHcy slightly increased in individuals within the normal range, but men exhibit racial differences for tH Cy responses to exercise training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Abdominal Obesity in Subjects with a Mutation in the 5‐HT2A Receptor Gene Promoter
TL;DR: It is suggested the possibility that an abnormal production rate of the 5‐HT2A gene product might lead to the development of abdominal obesity.
