Obesity is a chronic disease resulting from multifactorial causes mainly related to lifestyle
(sedentary lifestyle, inadequate eating habits) and to other conditions such as genetic …

Adipose tissue is considered one of the endocrine organs in the body because of its ability
to synthesize and release a large number of hormones, cytokines, and growth and …

The FTO gene harbors variation with the strongest effect on adiposity and obesity risk.
Previous data support a role for FTO variation in influencing food intake. We conducted a …

Childhood obesity represents a pressing global public health concern due to its widespread
prevalence and its close connection to early-life exposure to risk factors. The onset of …

Background Elevated blood pressure in childhood is a risk factor for adult hypertension
which is a global health problem. Excess adiposity in childhood creates a predisposition to …

Previous evidence suggests that variants in the fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO)
affect adiposity in an age-dependent fashion in children, and nutritional factors may modify …

Background The variation of the SNPs in FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene are
improved to be associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in some ethnic groups …

Purpose The study aimed to investigate the effect of breastfeeding, formula feeding and mix
feeding (breastfed plus formula-fed) on the expression level of obesity-predisposing genes …

Objective: To determine the association between overweight/obesity in schoolchildren with
FTO rs9939609 polymorphism (fatmass and obesity associated) and family history of …

Objective We investigated the association of IRX3 SNP rs3751723 with anthropometric
