Association of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met polymorphism with body mass index, fasting glucose levels and lipid status in adolescents

Association of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met polymorphism with body mass index, fasting glucose levels and lipid status in adolescents

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has an important role in energy balance. It suppresses food intake, reduces hepatic glucose production and converts white fat into brown fat in adipose tissue, leading to energy dissipation, lowered blood glucose and a lean phenotype. Studies have shown that...
