Relationship between salivary/pancreatic amylase and body mass index: a systems biology approach
Abstract
BackgroundSalivary (AMY1) and pancreatic (AMY2) amylases hydrolyze starch. Copy number of AMY1A (encoding AMY1) was reported to be higher in populations with a high-starch diet and reduced in obese people. These results based on quantitative PCR have been challenged recently. We aimed to re-assess the relationship between amylase and adiposity using a systems biology approach.MethodsWe assessed the association between plasma enzymatic activity …
