Background: Human obesity is characterized by high levels of leptin, and leptin levels may change with weight loss and dietary restriction. The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of Lys656Asn polymorphism in the leptin receptor gene on cardiovascular risk factors, weight loss, and serum leptin levels to a high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) hypocaloric diet in obese patients. Design: A sample of 132 obese patients was analyzed in a prospective way with a dietary intervention. The enriched PUFAs hypocaloric intervention consisted in a diet of 1,459 kcal, 45.7% of carbohydrates, 34.4% of lipids, and 19.9% of proteins. Results: In wild-type group, BMI (-1.9 +/- 1.4 kg/m(2)), weight (-4.4 +/- 3.2 kg), fat mass (-4.2 +/- 3.8 kg), waist circumference (-4.1 +/- 3.1 cm), systolic blood pressure (-7.0 +/- 12.1 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (-3.9 +/- 6.8 mmHg), insulin (-1.8 +/- 5.6MUI/l) and HOMA-IR (-0.5 +/- 1.5 Units) decreased. In mutant genotype group, BMI (-2.0 +/- 2.1 kg/m(2)), weight (-3.6 +/- 4.1 kg), waist circumference (-3.1 +/- 4.1 cm), total cholesterol (-25.2 +/- 19.6 mg/dl), LDL cholesterol (-16.6 +/- 25.6 mg/dl), and tryglicerides (-26.6 +/- 39.1 mg/dl) decreased. Only leptin levels have a significant decrease in wild genotype group (-6.6 +/- 10.2 ng/ml) (25.1%). Conclusion: Carriers of ASn656 allele have a different response than wild-type obese, with a lack of decrease in insulin levels, leptin levels, and HOMA-IR. However, obese patients with this mutant allele have a better lipid profile after weight loss. (C) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
