2007, Metabolism: Clinical and ExperimentalCitation Excerpt :Arg16 homozygotes are often homozygous for the Glu27 allele at the Glu27Gln SNP [2]. Glu27 carriers in a cohort of 63 older women with different fitness levels were shown to have better endurance performance [6]. As the Glu27 allele is often inherited with the Gly16 allele of the Arg16Gly SNP, the results of both studies are generally consistent.
Obesity and Its Therapy: From Genes to Community Action
2006, Pediatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :One study of adult monozygotic twins found that vigorous exercise can lower the genetic influences on body mass index (BMI), but that it has little influence on blood chemistry results illustrating the strength of genetic vulnerability with regard to medical comorbidities from overweight [32]. A study of adult women found that the β-2 adrenergic receptor Glu27Glu genotype corresponded to lower endurance performance when compared with women with the Gln27Gln and Gln27Glu genotypes [33]. Clearly, more research is needed in this area to ascertain the relationship between diet, physical activity, genetics, and environmental factors and obesity development and weight reduction.
