Association of Salivary Amylase (AMY1) Gene Copy Number with Obesity in Alabama Elementary School Children
Salivary amylase (AMY1) is the most abundant enzyme in human saliva, responsible for the hydrolysis of α-1,4 glycosidic linkages that aids in the digestion of starch. Recently studies have shown that the copy number of AMY1 is associated with obesity; however, the data varies with location. One-thir...
