Genetic influences on energy expenditure in humans

TL;DR: In response to chronic overfeeding, as well as negative energy balance, changes in the components of energy expenditure exhibit significant identical twin pair resemblance, supporting the hypothesis that heredity plays a significant role in the various components ofEnergy expenditure in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resting metabolic rate and respiratory quotient: results from a genome-wide scan in the Quebec Family Study

TL;DR: It is concluded that considerable locus heterogeneity exists even within populations, which should be taken into account when considering candidate gene studies of energy metabolism phenotypes and other complex traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

A polymorphism in the regulatory region of the corticotropin-releasing hormone gene in relation to cortisol secretion, obesity, and gene-gene interaction.

TL;DR: It is concluded that an abnormal production rate of the CRH gene product in the presence of an inadequate glucocorticoid receptor density might lead to elevated cortisol levels.

Genome-wide meta-analysis of macronutrient intake of 91,114 European ancestry participants from the cohorts for heart and aging research in genomic epidemiology consortium

Jordi Merino, +118 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors expanded the genetic landscape of macronutrient intake, identifying 12 suggestively significant loci (P < 1/1/×/10−6) associated with intake of any macro-nutrient in 91,114 European ancestry participants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-Trait Familial Resemblance for Body Fat and Blood Lipids: Familial Correlations in the Quebec Family Study

TL;DR: It is concluded that environmental factors shared within sibships are probably more important than common genes in determining the covariation between body fat and blood lipids.
