Zusammenfassung
Objective: Although there are indications for a regulatory effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on the association between single nuclear polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of obesity, scientific evidence in humans is still scarce. The present analysis investigates such associations using data on polyunsaturated fatty acids in red blood cell membranes (RBC). Subjects and Methods: Within the second Bavarian Food Consumption Survey (cross-sectional, population-based), 568 adult men and women provided a blood sample. Fatty acid composition of RBC membranes was analyzed by means of gas chromatography. Genoty…
