GNB3 overexpression causes obesity and metabolic syndrome
The G-protein beta subunit 3 (GNB3) gene has been implicated in obesity risk; however, the molecular mechanism of GNB3-related disease is unknown. GNB3 duplication is responsible for a syndromic form of childhood obesity, and an activating DNA sequence variant (C825T) in GNB3 is also associated with obesity. To test the hypothesis that GNB3 overexpression causes obesity, we created bacterial ar...
متن کاملMouse model implicates GNB3 duplication in a childhood obesity syndrome.
Obesity is a highly heritable condition and a risk factor for other diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancer. Recently, genomic copy number variation (CNV) has been implicated in cases of early onset obesity that may be comorbid with intellectual disability. Here, we describe a recurrent CNV that causes a syndrome associated with intellectual disabil...
متن کاملObesity and Metabolic Syndrome
Obesity is a state of the body, when the amount of energy delivered from food exceeds its consumption by the body. The concept of metabolic syndrome (MS) is determined by the coexistence of the clinical condition with connects risk factors for cardiovascular disease of atherosclerotic character and type 2 diabetes. Metabolic syndrome consists of: increased waist circumference, fasting blood glu...
متن کاملObesity, Metabolic Syndrome, and Adipocytes
Obesity and metabolic syndromes are examples whereby excess energy consumption and energy flux disruptions are causative agents of increased fatness. Because other, as yet elucidated, cellular factors may be involved and because potential treatments of these metabolic problems involve systemic agents that are not adipose depot-specific in their actions, should we be thinking of adipose depot-sp...
متن کاملObesity, Metabolic Syndrome and Nutrition.
Over the span of the last decades there has been an alarming worldwide increase in childhood obesity [1] , which tends to track into adulthood [2] . Childhood obesity is associated with a significant risk for the development of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and is also a risk factor for early cardiovascular events. The timing of the obesity epidemic is paralle...
