Introduction and objective: CD36 is a scavenger receptor that facilitates the membrane transport of long chain fatty acids into muscle and adipose tissue. Polymorphisms in this gene have been related to abnormal serum fatty acids and obesity-related phenotypes with inconsistent results. Gene-diet interactions could modulate these associations. Our aim was to study whether a common functional variant (rs1761667) in this gene will associate with anthropometric variables and plas...
