Abstract
Background: The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of appetite and eating behavior. Variants in the MC4R gene have been related to appetite and obesity. Objective: We aimed to examine whether weight-loss diets modified the effect of the “obesity-predisposing” MC4R genotype on appetite-related measures in a randomized controlled trial. Methods: A total of 811 overweight and obese subjects [25 ≤ body mass index...
