An AHSG gene variant modulates basal metabolic rate and body composition development after a short-time lifestyle intervention.

OBJECTIVES: The AHSG (alpha2 Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein) gene is suggested to be important for the regulation of body fat and insulin sensitivity. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between the common Thr248Met (rs4917) variant and obesity characteristics after an intervention with overweight females.
