A gene found in half of people living in the United States would be involved in the development of diabetes.
A recent study headed by Edward Weiss, a researcher at the University of St. Louis, which confirms the results shows that about half the population of the United States has a version of a gene that makes them metabolize food differently, exposing them to greater risk of developing diabetes. In fact, he worked on a gene sufficiently common FABP2, which is involved in the absorption of fat from food.
Following is a history of milkshakes! Indeed it is by observing how the fat was absorbed particularly rich drink that Weiss has found that people with the gene variant treated differently from other lipids. (more…)
