Finally made a comment, but does this explain why some cultures are generally obese e.g. Those from Tonga or Hawaii? |

hmmm, interesting, if a gene can cause obesity then It's possible another one can make someone slim: now i know why no matter the quantity of food i take, i never grow fat.... Scientist should look for a way to artificially induce the action of that gene .... I need it 3 Likes |

What exactly are professors and those having doctorate degree in science from Nigeria university discovering or inventing for us African? It time we play alongside with Japan as they follow the path of eastern science. We want African science where Africa will be pushed into human development ladder and technological revolution.

And to think I just read obesity/overweight as a topic yesterday. @op The concept that there is a genetic influence with regards to obesity is not new. Infact, the singular most important factor in having children who end up being obese adults irrespective of their weight now is having obese parents. Suffice it to say, a theory was postulated that the early man developed a complex system of storing fat and glucose during times of plenty to sustain them when famine hits with nature selecting the sustenance of the genes of those that were able to store most fat to enhance survival. Sadly, we are now left with a system that stores up fat which is no longer needed since we don't necessarily lack food anymore. Genetic factor in combination with environmental (fast food high in fat, sodium, simple sugars, calories plus lifestyle choices) still remain the largest contributing factors to obesity. To find out if you are obese, follow this simple formula, divide ur weight in kg by your height in meters squared eg 75kg/1.5m² This is called your Basal Metabolic Index (BMI) <18.5: underweight 18.5-24.9: Normal 25-29.9: Overweight 30-34.9: obese 35-39.9: Moderately obese 40-44.9: morbidly obese 45-49.9: Severely morbidly obese 50 and above: *YET TO FIND A MEDICAL TERM FOR IT! * I am thinking you guys have had enough of the lecture. Live healthy. Remember Obesity is and remains a disease no matter how curvy or sexy it makes u look 2 Likes |

Lozz don't be confused pal, It is the same GOD that qives us wisdom to discover the beautiful things we humans are yet to find...the way God wires our Brain is a mystery but we only utilized it just a little bit of it..it has to do with how we think, and that's why we are very far from discovering just like the USA, India and so forth... |

[quote author=Donalð Genes][/quote] Like I said, environmental factors plays a huge role as well, or how do you explain the likes of struggling artists who go from been frail and thin to huge and obese almost overnight just cos they have hit it big. Again, I am a big believer that if one can control the environmental factors, the genetic influence will be kept in check cos let us face it, fat is only formed from excess glucose and proteins all gotten from our diet and lack of active lifestyle. Remove that, and the body will have nothing to work with. |

KRS2 gene right? Now we have an excuse to get fat. |
Re: Scientists Discovers Obesity gene. by DonaldGenes(m): 7:26pm On Oct 27, 2013 |
peacettw:that is what am tryna say Environment plays a big role too__like when you see some artist qrowing fat and later they become slim, it means that they have decided to take it upon themselves to stop eating as before and then the qenes will now be suppress..let me explain it for those not in the Genetcis line..i mean those same qenes will TURN OFF small small, and then the glucose in-take can now be control making them slim back as before_mind you,Insulin is controlled by this genes,that's why the insulin is able to close and open the glucose PATHWAY |
Re: Scientists Discovers Obesity gene. by Nobody: 7:27pm On Oct 27, 2013 |
I havealways said it, if there are people who eat a lot yet they don't grow fat, then there should be people who eat little and still look fat. My elder brother eats anyhow, he eats anything. Yet he is slim and cute. Why is it so? |
