Modifier genes carbohydrate Fat Be Found

The researchers from the United States have found that the genes responsible for the plateful pasta (carbohydrate) to be fat. These findings help explain how important the body memetabolisasi role of the carbohydrate and the emergence of obesity.

Genes, called DNA-PK, appear to set the process of conversion of fat into carbohydrate in the lever. Then the scientists called the team from the University of California Berkeley explains, Tuesday in the journal Cell.

"We hope that this research will one day help someone to no longer worry when mengonsumsi fat bread, pasta, and rice," said Roger Wong, one of the researchers who are still students in a statement.

When they multiply mouse genes with the same version but not perfect, these mice appear slim despite many kalorinya consumption.

"DNA-PK is not perfect makes this mouse-rat to be more slim and 40 percent easier to lose body fat compared with normal mice in the control group." Wong clear.

He says, mouse-rat genes that lack of this does not get fat when they consume high-calorie food and even blood cholesterol level can be lower. As a result, the risk of heart attack is low. The same genes, said the research team, can be used for medicine as a potential obesity prevention / Obesity. (Source: Kompas)
