肥胖基因与抗肥胖基因 1994年12月某日的下午,在美国纽约街头,有一个男人遭到一群年轻女人的“围攻”:“听说可通过基因减肥,这是真的吗?”那个男人就是因发现了肥胖基因而成了新闻人物的弗里德曼博士。 弗里德曼在对肥胖进行研究时,发现体重是正常体重3倍的异常肥胖的老鼠缺少某种基因,他由此推测这种基因是不是就是引起肥胖的“肥胖基因”。 Obese genes and anti-obesity genes On the afternoon of December 1994, on the afternoon of December 1994, a man was “besieged” by a group of young women in the streets of New York, USA: “Is it true that I heard that weight loss through genetics is possible?” That man Dr Friedman, who became a news person on the discovery of the obesity gene. Friedman's study of obesity found that an unusually obese mouse weighing three times the normal body weight lacked a gene, and he therefore speculated that the gene was not the “obese gene” that caused obesity.
