Association between Interleukin-1B C-31T Polymorphism and Obesity in Japanese
BACKGROUND Recent studies have revealed a close relationship between obesity and polymorphism in the inflammation gene. However, the association between interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and obesity remains controversial. We therefore investigated the association between IL-1B C-31T polymorphism and obesity in Japanese. METHODS The participants were 802 inhabitants (281 men and 521 women) of Japan...
متن کاملInterleukin-1B-31T/C promoter polymorphism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk: a meta-analysis
INTRODUCTION The role of interleukin (IL)-1β -31T/C promoter polymorphism in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been studied with inconsistent results. This meta-analysis was performed to assess the association of IL-1β -31T/C promoter polymorphism with COPD susceptibility. MATERIAL AND METHODS Published case-control studies from PubMed and China National Kno...
متن کاملWhy is the Impact of Genetic Polymorphisms on the Smoking Habit not Consistent? Possibly Diluted Association with the Interleukin-1B C-31T Polymorphism in Japanese Brazilians.
The smoking habit is influenced by culture, psychological traits and physical factors. Recent studies on genetic polymorphisms have demonstrated that functional polymorphisms pertaining to neurotransmitters may affect smoking behavior, as well as psychological parameters and diseases. Our recent study demonstrated the interleukin (IL)-1B gene encoding IL-1b, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, to be a...
متن کاملEvaluation of frequency polymorphism Interleukin 1B gene in patients with peptic ulcer and chronic gastritis
Introduction: Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of chronic inflammation and peptic ulcer. More than half of the world population is afflicted with Helicobacter, while only 20% of people show the clinical symptoms of the disease. Genes encoding the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1B play a key role in the inflammatory responses of gastric mucus. This study aims to analyze polymorphism in the IL-1...
متن کاملSMOKING Association of CYP2A6 deletion polymorphism with smoking habit and development of pulmonary emphysema
Background: Nicotine is responsible for smoking dependence and is mainly metabolised by CYP2A6. Several types of genetic polymorphism of CYP2A6 have been reported, but their relation to smoking habit and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) phenotypes has not been fully clarified. Methods: 203 current or ex-smokers (lifelong cigarette consumption (CC) >10 pack years) with subclinical an...
