it has already been proved the dependence of obesity and thinness from genes. However, as scholars have stressed, do not rush to explain everything bad or good genetics. In most cases, the extra pounds accumulate in adult life, and they are associated mainly with a sedentary lifestyle and excessive consumption of high-calorie foods. Doctors emphasize that no matter what genes you were endowed by nature, healthy physical activity and reasonable diet has not been canceled.
Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis, of course, do not argue with this, but still they manipulated gene, which is responsible for the production of the hormone follistatin. It turned out that, if we strengthen its operating time, it is possible to prevent obesity and build muscle mass without additional exercise mice that are abundantly fed different fats.
This is a promising discovery reveals the potential for people a gene therapy that could cure obesity without major changes in the diet or to build muscle those who are not able to exercise.
