Molecules in focus Insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II)

Sandra D. O'Dell, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1998 - 
TL;DR: In the general adult population, the IGF2-INS gene cluster may also influence body weight, in which case IGF-II function could become a target for therapeutic intervention in obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positive associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IGF2 gene region and body mass index in adult males

Tom R. Gaunt, +4 more
- 01 Jul 2001 - 
TL;DR: Association with 11 more markers, including seven novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), spanning >30 kb across the IGF2 gene is tested, strongly suggesting that IGF2 genetic variation is a significant determinant of body weight in middle-aged males.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adiponectin gene ADIPOQ SNP associations with serum adiponectin in two female populations and effects of SNPs on promoter activity

Theodosios Kyriakou, +10 more
- 04 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: Eight tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ADIPOQ gene and promoter were selected, and association with serum adiponectin was tested, in two independent samples of Caucasian women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variation at the FADS1-FADS2 gene locus influences delta-5 desaturase activity and LC-PUFA proportions after fish oil supplement

Maryam Al-Hilal, +6 more
- 01 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: Different sites at the FADS1-FADS2 locus appear to influence D5D and D6D activity, and rs174537 genotype interacts with dietary EPA+DHA to modulate D5d.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of high-fat feeding on expression of genes controlling availability of dopamine in mouse hypothalamus.

Alex K. Lee, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the hypothalamic centers integrate external signals of nutrient availability and energy status and initiate responses to maintain homeostasis, and quantifying changes in hypothalamic gene expression in the presence of nutrient excess may identify novel responsive elements.
