Trp64Arg Polymorphism in Beta3-Adrenergic Receptor Gene Is Associated with Decreased Fat Oxidation Both in Resting and Aerobic Exercise in the Japanese Male

الملخص EN

The purpose of our study was to investigate whether the Trp64Arg polymorphism in β3-AR gene and the −3826A/G polymorphism in the UCP1 gene were associated with the reduction in energy expenditure and fat oxidation both in resting and aerobic exercise in Japanese.

Eighty-six nonobese young healthy Japanese were recruited.

Energy expenditure was measured using indirect calorimetry.

The subjects performed an aerobic exercise program at 60% of their maximal heart rate for 30 minutes.

The level of fat oxidation at rest and aerobic exercise of the male subjects with Trp/Arg of the β3-AR gene was significantly lower than that of the Trp/Trp genotype.

No difference in FO0-30 was observed in the female subjects.

There was no association between UCP-1 polymorphism and energy expenditure during aerobic exercise.

It was revealed that the Trp64Arg polymorphism in β3-AR gene is associated with reduction of fat oxidation both in resting and aerobic exercise in healthy, young Japanese males.
