Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms are associated with obesity and inflammosome activity.

Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms are associated with obesity and inflammosome activity.

To explore the mechanisms underlying the suggested role of the vitamin D/vitamin D receptor (VDR) complex in the pathogenesis of obesity we performed genetic and immunologic analyses in obese and non-obese Saudi individuals without other concomitant chronic diseases. Genomic DNA was genotyped for ge...
