Efecto del sedentarismo sobre la interacción entre el gen FTO y niveles de adiposidad en adultos chilenos - Resultados del Estudio GENADIO

Rev. méd. Chile; 151 (8), 2023
ANTECEDENTES: Tanto el gen FTO (Fat-mass and obesity-associated-gene) y el tiempo sedente se asocian a obesidad, sin embargo, se desconoce si el tiempo sedente puede modificar la predisposición genética a la obesidad. Por ende, el objetivo de este estudio fue investigar si la asociación entre el polim...

Obesidade genética não sindrômica: histórico, fisiopatologia e principais genes

A obesidade é definida pelo excesso de gordura corporal acumulada no tecido adiposo quando o indivíduo atinge valores de IMC igual ou superior a 30 Kg/m2. Constitui um dos principais fatores de risco para várias doenças não transmissíveis (DNTs) como por exemplo, diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), doe...

Effects of FTO and PPARγ variants on intrauterine growth restriction in a Brazilian birth cohort

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (1), 2021
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is related to a higher risk of neonatal mortality, minor cognitive deficit, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. In previous studies, genetic variants in the FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated) and PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activa...

Association between the FTO gene polymorphism and obesity in Brazilian adolescents from the Northeast region

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 96 (5), 2020
Abstract Objective: To investigate the association between the FTO gene polymorphism with obesity in Brazilian adolescents from the Northeast region. Method: This was a case-control study with adolescents aged 18 to 19 years. The case group consisted of 378 obese individuals and the control group of 37...

Asociación entre el polimorfismo rs9939609 del gen FTO y marcadores de adiposidad en población infantil chilena

Rev. chil. pediatr; 91 (3), 2020
Resumen: Introducción: La obesidad es una enfermedad inflamatoria donde la genética determina cierto nivel de riesgo. Aun cuando existen estudios que reportan asociación entre polimorfismos de FTO (fat-mass associated gene) y adiposidad, existe limitada evidencia en población infantil chilena. Obj...

Asociación entre el polimorfismo rs9939609 del gen FTO con la ingesta energética, macronutrientes y consumo de alcohol en población chilena

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (11), 2018
Background: Fat-mass-associated-gene (FTO) is associated with higher energy intake and specific food preferences. Aim: To investigate the association of the FTO genotype with energy intake, macronutrient and alcohol consumption. Material and Methods: Four hundred and nine participants of the GENADIO (G...

Asociación entre el polimorfismo rs9939609 del gen FTO y marcadores de adiposidad en población adulta chilena

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (6), 2018
Background: Numerous studies have identified the role of Fat-mass-associated-gene (FTO) in the development of obesity. Aim: To investigate the association of FTO gene with adiposity markers in Chilean adults. Material and Methods: 409 participants were included in this cross-sectional study. The associ...

Exenatide ameliorates hepatic steatosis and attenuates fat mass and FTO gene expression through PI3K signaling pathway in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (8), 2018
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common disease associated with metabolic syndrome and can lead to life-threatening complications like hepatic carcinoma and cirrhosis. Exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist antidiabetic drug, has the capacity to overcome insulin resis...

Type 2 diabetes-associated genetic variants of FTO, LEPR, PPARg, and TCF7L2 in gestational diabetes in a Brazilian population

ABSTRACT Objective Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder that shares pathophysiologic features with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the polymorphisms fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) rs1421085, leptin receptor (LEPR) rs113...

Lack of association between genetic polymorphism of FTO, AKT1 and AKTIP in childhood overweight and obesity

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 92 (5), 2016
Abstract Objective: Obesity is a chronic disease caused by both environmental and genetic factors. Epidemiological studies have documented that increased energy intake and sedentary lifestyle, as well as a genetic contribution, are forces behind the obesity epidemic. Knowledge about the interaction betw...
