Studies of associations between the Arg389Gly polymorphism of the β1-adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB1) and hypertension and obesity in 7677 Danish white subjects
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Activation of the beta(1)-adrenergic receptor (ADRB1) causes increased lipolysis in adipose tissue and enhances cardiac output. Analysis of the association of the functional ADRB1 Arg389Gly variant with obesity and hypertension has given ambiguous results. To clarify the potential impact of this variant on obesity and hypertension in the general population, we examined the Arg389Gly variant in a relatively large-scale population-based study.
