The common rs9939609 gene variant of the fat mass- and obesity-associated gene FTO is related to fat cell lipolysis

We investigated the rs9939609 single nucleotide polymorphism of the FTO gene in relation to fat cell function and adipose tissue gene expression in 306 healthy women with a wide range in body mass index (18–53 kg/m2). Subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were taken for fat cell metabolism studies an...
