Is an untranslated insertion variant in the uncoupling protein 2 gene related to body mass index and changes in body weight during a 26-year follow-up in Danish Caucasian men?
In a large group of Danish Caucasian men we found no association between a 3'untranslated insertion polymorphism in the UCP2 gene and obesity. Neither did we identify a relation between this variant and BMI changes during adult age.
Compared to PS, PAV+ is associated with fewer intervention in terms of ventilator settings and sedative dose changes.
