Abstract
Background/aims: It is possible that carnosinase (CNDP1) and cellular nonspecific dipeptidase (CNDP2) have important roles in protecting cells and tissues against the damage of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress and subsequent inflammation are key factors in the development of common chronic metabolic diseases, such as obesity. We aimed to investigate the combined effects of genetic variations in CNDP1 and CNDP2 and dietary carbohydrate and carotene intake on obesity risk.
Methods: A total of 1,059 Japanese men were randomly selected from participants who visited a medical center for routine medical checkups. We analyzed the relationships between the genotypes of 4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs12605520, rs7244647, rs4891558, and rs17089368) in the CNDP1/CNDP2 locus and body mass index or prevalence of obesity/overweight taking into account dietary carbohydrate and carotene intake.
Results: We found that 2 SNPs (rs7244647 in CNDP1 and rs4891558 in CNDP2) were associated with obesity risk. In addition, these associations were observed only in the group with high carbohydrate and low carotene intake but not in the group with low carbohydrate and high carotene intake.
Conclusions: Our findings indicate that the combination of genetic variations in CNDP1 and CNDP2 and dietary carbohydrate/carotene intake modulate obesity risk.
期刊介绍:
The emerging field of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics is rapidly gaining importance, and this new international journal has been established to meet the needs of the investigators for a high-quality platform for their research. Endorsed by the recently founded "International Society of Nutrigenetics/Nutrigenomics", the ‘Journal of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics’ welcomes contributions not only investigating the role of genetic variation in response to diet and that of nutrients in the regulation of gene expression, but is also open for articles covering all aspects of gene-environment interactions in the determination of health and disease.
