Researchers at the Van Andel Institute in Michigan have collected evidence for the implementation of two fundamentally different types of obesity in mammals – but this is just the beginning. More interesting is that scientific facts were discovered to substantiate “undeclared phenotypic variability” – a phenomenon that has been fought over objects for more than a hundred years. New data have led to an explanation of why twins grown in the right conditions, as they grow older, still begin to separate from each other at the molecular level.
Epigenetics measures the properties of genes that do not change from the structure of DNA, but the processes of reading information can occur when new cells are formed. Because of this, according to the theory, each organism acquires an individual Vectovir. The results of experiments on cloned rodents are similar to those of studies of twins – despite the common original genome, their bodies are infected with signs.
The authors of the study found that such differences can be small or infinite, and they will help to more accurately identify a personal diagnosis in the case of a disease and prescribe treatment. To begin with, they focused on the study of obesity, since they make up about 2 billion people on the planet. And there are already first results – obesity follows at least two types.
Claiming that there is “ordinary” obesity, under what conditions does an organization simply increase the amount of fat? But there is also an “epigenetic”, with it, in addition, muscle mass, insulin levels increase and inflammatory processes inside the body are activated. It is obvious that the treatment for such cases is different, one diet or liposuction here. will come.
