Evidence for a Role of LPGAT1 in Influencing BMI and Percent Body Fat in Native Americans
OBJECTIVE A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was recently completed in 1120 Pima Indians to identify loci that influence BMI. Among the top 100 signals were three variants that mapped within the lysophosphatidylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (LPGAT1) gene. LPGAT1 belongs to a large family of acyltransferases, which are involved in a variety of biological processes including pathways that regula...
متن کاملRace and epicardial fat: the impact of anthropometric measurements, percent body fat and sex.
OBJECTIVE Epicardial fat is known to be thicker in White men than in Black men. The impact of sex, % body fat, and other anthropometric measures on epicardial fat thickness has not been described. Therefore we sought to evaluate how the racial differences in epicardial fat thickness would differ by these factors. METHODS We used two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography to measure the ep...
متن کاملComparison of two hydrodensitometric methods for estimating percent body fat.
This study compared the two following hydrodensitometric methods for estimating percent body fat (%BF): 1) estimation of residual volume (RV) by helium dilution before and after measurement of immersed mass at RV, and 2) determination of immersed mass at a comfortable level of expiration (approximately functional residual capacity) with measurement of the associated gas volume by oxygen dilutio...
متن کاملIs percentage body fat differentially related to body mass index in Hispanic Americans, African Americans, and European Americans?
BACKGROUND Limited research has been done to explore differences between ethnic groups, including Hispanic Americans (HAs), in the association between percentage body fat (PBF) and body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)); the numbers of HAs are increasing in the US population. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether the relation between PBF and BMI in adult HAs differed from that of African Americans (AA...
