The effects of C161 ->T polymorphisms in exon 6 of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma gene on bone mineral metabolism and serum osteoprotegrin levels in healthy middle-aged women
Article Abstract:
The association of different genotypes in C161 ->T substitution in exon 6 of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma [PPAR(gamma)] gene with bone turnover markers, bone mineral density, and serum osteoprotegrin in female subjects is evaluated to reveal the role of PPAR(gamma) in bone. The frequencies of C161 ->T substitution in exon 6 of the PPAR(gamma) gene in Korean females were similar to other races and women with T alleles showed significantly lower serum.

Maternal preconceptional weight and gestational length
Article Abstract:
The suggestion that preconceptional undernutrition shortens gestation is tested among rural Gambian women who experience annual fluctuations in energy balance caused by the rains using records from 1918 infants. The results suggest a possible link between low-maternal energy stores at conception and shortened gestation.
