Karma and genes. Obesity.




You would think that all you have little regard? Imagine even overweight is rooted in the genetic disorder. More recently, American and French scientists have discovered a gene that regulates the body's weight. So maybe we suffer needlessly when almost nothing eat or exhaust yourself physically demanding endless?



Let's look at the process of obesity in terms of genetics.

When metabolism in humans are not disturbed glucose through food ingested and converted into glycogen and then deposited in muscle, brain and liver. Glycogen - this is our fuel. When it breaks, glucose begins to work for the cells of the body and the brain, so they breathe. Researchers found that for the transfer of glucose into glycogen is responsible protein, the so-called "separating the protein-2." The name comes from the fact that he directs the metabolism in the right direction, sharing with the processes of fat and glycogen. If the responsible gene mutates, then instead of glycogen will produce fat. The man in front of tuchneet. The process is fairly unpleasant, but geneticists argue that reversible. It is necessary to introduce a "protein-2" for the normalization of metabolism.



But that's not all. Two years earlier, it was done no less important discovery - revealed the secret of appetite. Previously, it was believed that the saturation of the brain according to glucose. When the content becomes high in the blood, glucose annoying corresponding center in man decreases appetite. That is what prevents overeating.

Scientists at New York Rockefeller University discovered leptin gene. What does it mean? Briefly, the situation with the visual signal the brain "do not lean more on food" as follows. Insulin is produced by the body to regulate blood sugar levels also makes so that the cells of the subcutaneous adipose tissue was synthesized leptin, which serves as a "messenger" - penetrates into the brain and said body of satiety. We are, after eating, get up from the table. "Breakage" condemns human leptin gene that signal satiety to the brain does not come, and all the people eat, eat - can not eat. What a result - unhappy walking stomach now and the door does not pass.



A curious detail: in Russia, a sensational report about genetic nature of obesity is hardly mentioned. Strange? Not at all. What do you think, what money there glossy women's magazines? Advertising? Of course, advertising. And most of the advertising is fat burners.

Abroad, the era of ignorance causes of obesity has long passed. They already know that no diet pills and exercises, even taken together, do not help. A fifth of the population in developed countries (namely, so many people are suffering there fullness) nourish the unfounded hopes for drugs that are based on the discoveries of genetics. In the United States conducted clinical trials of such drugs, including leptin.



Can it be so simple? Finish the test and will be really effective means ever solves all the problems of weight, double chin and cellulite crusts. Make no mistake, these drugs of excess weight can help not for everyone. While not all the known causes of this phenomenon. Genetics only at the beginning. But hope is not far off when both drugs are needed. Unhealthy genes, sooner or later learn to be replaced by new workers.

And while these are not happy times come, eat more pineapple, which contains bromelain matter - the main fat burner. Drink cabbage and grapefruit juice - half a liter a day, and the results are not long in coming.

Next disease caused by a gene of patients, we will look - depression.
