A fat mass and obesity-associated gene polymorphism influences fat mass in exercise-trained individuals

Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2018
Background A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene is a strong predictor of obesity in humans. The FTO SNP (rs1421085) results in a T to C nucleotide substitution that may result in an increased risk for ...

Fat mass and bone development [PDF]

Expert Review of Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010
. Whether a similar association exists in children, implying that fat mass helps the development as well as maintenance of bone, is more controversial. In a cross sectional study, we previously reported that fat mass is positively related to total body bone mass independently of lean mass and height in 3082 boys and girls at a mean age of 9.9 years ...
