Brown fat thermogenesis receptor.

Analyzed variants (SNPs)

rs4994 ADRB3 Trp64Arg Population frequency: 10.0% Chr. 8 : 37,823,798
Genotype Impact What it means
TT (Normal) Normal Normal brown-fat thermogenesis - standard metabolic rate. Keep regular activity and adequate protein.
TC (Carrier) Low impact Reduced thermogenesis - slightly lower calorie burn and a modest weight-gain tendency. Prioritise resistance training, protein and a lower-glycaemic diet.
CC (Variant) Moderate Lowest thermogenesis (Arg/Arg) - higher weight-gain tendency and slower metabolism. Emphasise daily activity, strength training, high protein and portion control.
