Why some girls are easy to fat stomach? Scientists have made a new discovery
An article published Feb. 16 in the subjournal Nature found that some women are more likely to put on a small belly, which is actually influenced by genes. New study reveals fat belly gene The research team first compared the genomes of hundreds of people to identify genes associated with obesity and high Waist-to-Hip Ratio . The Waist-to-Hip Ratio is a good indicator of abdominal fat, and the higher the ratio the less healthy it is. After genetic analysis, they targeted genes associated with 91 genes that help regulate fat distribution primarily in women. One gene in particular caught the researchers' attention as having the strongest association with waist-hip height in women ----SNX10 Although men also express this gene, it does not affect the waist-to-hip ratio in men. After various verifications, it is true that this gene is the biggest suspect in causing abdominal obesity in women! First, this gene has the ability to control the growth and deposition of fat cell...
