TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of childhood body mass index, using sex- and age-adjusted standard deviation scores, identifies three novel loci that likely represent age-related differences in strength of the associations with bodymass index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of exercise training on plasma levels of C-reactive protein in healthy adults: the HERITAGE Family Study
Timo A. Lakka,Hanna Maaria Lakka,Tuomo Rankinen,Arthur S. Leon,D. C. Rao,James S. Skinner,Jack H. Wilmore,Claude Bouchard +7 more
TL;DR: Plasma C-reactive protein levels are reduced in response to exercise training in sedentary healthy adults with high initial C- reactiveprotein levels, a finding that may partly explain the effectiveness of regular physical activity in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
