Effects of the C825Tpolymorphism of the GNB3gene on body adiposity and blood pressure in fertile and menopausal women a population-based study

The 825T allele of the GNB3gene is implicated in adipose distribution, predisposing to obesity and hypertension. Menopause is also considered a condition leading to excess adiposity and hypertension. The aim of the present study was to clarify whether the effects of menopause on body weight and blood pressure are influenced by the C825Tpolymorphism of the GNB3gene.
