Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the rs9939609 genotypes, which are linked to obesity, and dietary habits in adults with severe obesity in Norway.
- It involved 100 participants, assessing their food intake, energy, macro- and micronutrients over three days, to evaluate their adherence to national dietary recommendations.
- Results showed trends indicating some differences in protein intake and food group consumption among genotypes, but overall, there were no significant associations, and a low percentage of participants met recommended dietary guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the FTO obesity-risk allele (SNP rs9939609) affects energy and substrate expenditure in individuals who are uniformly obese.
- Participants included 100 individuals categorized based on their FTO allele status: non-risk homozygotes (TT), heterozygotes (AT), and risk homozygotes (AA).
- Findings show no significant differences in basal metabolic or post-meal energy expenditure across groups, but those with the risk allele had a higher fasting respiratory quotient, indicating changes in fat and carbohydrate oxidation.
