Abstract

To characterize the clinical features associated with the Trp64Arg mutation of the beta3-adrenergic receptor (beta3-AR), the effects of this mutation, in particular the homozygous state (Arg/Arg), on obesity, blood pressure, and plasma lipoproteins were investigated in 2 populations: subjects residing on a small isolated island (group 1; n=746) and patients residing in Tokyo who attend a clinic for metabolic diseases (group 2; n=371). The allelic frequency of the Trp64Arg mutation was 23.4% in group 1 and 18.3% in group 2. No significant difference in the body mass index was observed between subjects with 3 different genotypes in each group. There was a trend that the Arg/Arg had higher systolic blood pressure than the Trp/Trp in both groups, but the differences were not statistically significant. The plasma LDL cholesterol levels were significantly lower in Arg/Arg than in Trp/Trp in men from the group 1 cohort (2.82+/-0.84 versus 3.19+/-0.7 mmol/L, P<0.05). These results suggest that the homozygous Trp64Arg mutation is not a major contributing factor for obesity, but potentially contributed to higher systolic blood pressure and low plasma levels of LDL cholesterol in Japanese men.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
