Researchers Find Gene That Turns Carbs Into Fat
U.S. researchers have found a gene responsible for turning a plate of pasta into fat, offering new clues about how the body metabolizes carbohydrates and how they contribute to obesity.
He said the mice who lacked this gene did not get fat when they ate high-carb food and they had lower levels of blood cholesterol, which can reduce the risk of heart disease.
Since humans have the same gene, the team thinks it may serve as a potential target for drugs to prevent obesity.
