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. They burn more fat, which may reduce their ability to remove sugar from the bloodstream and to catabolism. But diabetes is characterized by too much sugar in the blood. According to the author, this study does not mean that half the U.S. population is destined to have diabetes, the genetic variation appears to contribute to an increased risk diabetes but do not cause diabetes by itself.
Diabetes is a disease related to failure of biological mechanisms regulating blood sugar concentration of sugar in the blood. This disease is characterized by a significant increase in blood glucose and can be caused by genetic factors or develop following an unhealthy lifestyle such as diabetes type 2, where almost 80% of patients are overweight or obesity.
