Protective role of uncoupling protein 2 in atherosclerosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Associations of obesity with incidence of heart failure have been observed, but the causality is uncertain. We hypothesized that gastric bypass surgery leads to a lower incidence of heart failure compared with intensive lifestyle modification in obese people. METHODS:We included obese people without previou...
