Results: Weight (155.0±31.4–146.5±27.8 kg), BMI (58.5±10.5–55.3±9.2 kg/m 2), fat-free
mass (65.4±8.6–63.1±7.1 kg), fat mass (89.5±23.0–83.4±21.0 kg) and RMR (2511.6±386.1–
2324.0±416.4 kcal per day) decreased significantly after dietary intervention. Multiple
regression analyses showed that UCP2 expression contributed to weight loss after dietary
intervention (P= 0.05). Conclusions: UCP2 expression is associated with weight loss after

Multiple regression analyses showed that UCP2 expression contributed to weight loss after dietary intervention (P= 0.05).
Conclusions:
UCP2 expression is associated with weight loss after hypocaloric diet intervention.
Introduction
The development of obesity involves multiple components, including genetic and environmental factors as well as lifestyle. 1, 2 Obesity is a significant risk factor for the appearance of several comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and cancer. 3, 4
