| Abstract | Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of medical disorders, consisting of multiple, interrelated risk factors of metabolic origin. To investigate the associations of MetS with appetite-related genes (LEPR, near MC4R and SH2B1) and cholesterol metabolism-related gene (LRP5) polymorphism variants and the joint effect of cigarette smoking and these polymorphism variants on MetS in a community-based case–control study. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the American Heart Association and National Heart Lung Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) criteria. A total of 237 MetS cases and 202 subjects without MetS aged 40 or over in Taiwan were analyzed. The genotypes of LRP5-rs3736228, LEPR-rs1137100, near MC4R-rs17782313 and SH2B1-rs4788102 were analyzed by the PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism method. A strong association of the SNP rs17782313 near MC4R gene with MetS susceptibility was found. The data indicated that the C allele of near MC4R-rs17782313 is an obvious risk factor for MetS susceptibility. The joint effects of cigarette smoking and susceptible genotypes of LRP5, LEPR, near MC4R or SH2B1 genes led to a relatively higher risk of having MetS. Using subjects with the wild-type of LRP5, LEPR, near MC4R or SH2B1 genes and without a smoking habit as a reference group, those with cigarette smoking (current and former) and more than one variant type had a 4.1-fold (95 % CI = 1.6–10.2) risk of having MetS. The genotypes of the appetite-related genes (LEPR, near MC4R and SH2B1) and cholesterol metabolism-related gene (LRP5), together with a cigarette smoking habit, are important risk factors for MetS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
