Association between insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and type 2 diabetes susceptibility variants identified in genome-wide association studies
Stephanie-May Ruchat,Cathy E. Elks,Ruth J. F. Loos,Marie-Claude Vohl,S. John Weisnagel,Tuomo Rankinen,Claude Bouchard,Louis Pérusse +7 more
TL;DR: Diabetes-associated variants in CDKAL1, CDKN2B, HHEX/IDE, IGF2BP2, KCNJ11, SLC30A8 and TCF7L2 are associated with physiological alterations leading to T2DM, such as glucose intolerance, impaired insulin secretion or insulin resistance, supporting their role in the disease aetiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current status of the human obesity gene map
Claude Bouchard,Louis Pérusse +1 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that a system be developed by the obesity research community to ensure that an accurate and easily accessible computerized version of the human obesity gene map becomes available in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnic-Specific BMI and Waist Circumference Thresholds
Peter T. Katzmarzyk,George A. Bray,Frank L. Greenway,William D. Johnson,Robert L. Newton,Eric Ravussin,Donna H. Ryan,Claude Bouchard +7 more
TL;DR: The optimal BMI and WC thresholds approximated currently used thresholds in men and in white women and there are no apparent ethnic differences in men; however, in AA women the optimal weight and waist circumference values are ∼3 kg/m2 and 5 cm higher than inwhite women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuromedin β: a strong candidate gene linking eating behaviors and susceptibility to obesity
Luigi Bouchard,Vicky Drapeau,Véronique Provencher,Simone Lemieux,Yvon C. Chagnon,Treva Rice,D. C. Rao,Marie-Claude Vohl,Angelo Tremblay,Claude Bouchard,Louis Pérusse +10 more
TL;DR: P73T) located within the NMB gene showed significant associations with eating behaviors and obesity phenotypes, and the results suggest that NMB is a very strong candidate gene ofeating behaviors and predisposition to obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Television viewing, physical activity, and health-related fitness of youth in the Québec family study
TL;DR: The results indicate that time watching television has only a weak association with indicators of physical activity and health-related fitness in Québec youth.
