Abstract

Methods: This case-control study looked at a total of 104 university students, 51 individuals with obesity, and 53 individuals as controls. Biochemical measurements by the colorimetric method include zinc and copper. Genetic analysis by the tetra primers ARMS-PCR was used for genotyping the rs180113 SNP in the MTHFR gene.

Results: Serum zinc levels were significantly higher in the obese group compared to the non-obese group (145.1 ± 24.89 ug/dl vs. 114.8 ± 29.44 ug/dl, p = 0.0133), while copper levels showed no significant difference. Genotyping revealed the rs1801133 polymorphism in the MTHFR gene is significantly associated with obesity, with the A allele more frequent in obese individuals (39.6% vs. 14.5%, p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Zn and rs1801133 are associated with obesity, the A allele of rs1801133 SNP and the significant associations observed in different genetic models highlight the potential of this polymorphism as a genetic marker for obesity risk.

期刊介绍： Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry: The Journal of Metabolic Diseases is an international peer-reviewed journal which has been relaunched to meet the increasing demand for integrated publication on molecular, biochemical and cellular aspects of metabolic diseases, as well as clinical and therapeutic strategies for their treatment. It publishes full-length original articles, rapid papers, reviews and mini-reviews on selected topics. It is the overall goal of the journal to disseminate novel approaches to an improved understanding of major metabolic disorders. The scope encompasses all topics related to the molecular and cellular pathophysiology of metabolic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, and their associated complications. Clinical studies are considered as an integral part of the Journal and should be related to one of the following topics: -Dysregulation of hormone receptors and signal transduction -Contribution of gene variants and gene regulatory processes -Impairment of intermediary metabolism at the cellular level -Secretion and metabolism of peptides and other factors that mediate cellular crosstalk -Therapeutic strategies for managing metabolic diseases Special issues dedicated to topics in the field will be published regularly.
