PPARG and Obesity: The G allele carriers of the PPARG rs1801282 polymorphism had higher levels of BMI, WC and TC than the CC homozygotes; the T allele carriers of the PPARG rs3856806 polymorphism had lower levels of LDL-C and higher levels of HDL-C than the CC homozygotes; the effects of the PPARG rs1801282 and rs3856806 polymorphisms on obesity indexes and/or serum lipid levels are modulated by ethnicities, health conditions, genders and ages of the subjects.
