Association of Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1) gene polymorphism with obesity: a case-control study
Abstract Background Obesity is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. More than 120 genes have been shown to be associated with obesity related phenotypes. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of selected genetic polymorphisms in Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and Nie...
