A missense mutation in the human melanocortin-4 receptor gene in relation to abdominal obesity and salivary cortisol
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4-R) regulates food intake and possibly energy expenditure, and the inactivation of the MC4-R by gene targeting results in obesity, a phenotype strongly associated with Type II ...
