A couch potato’s biggest dream ever is showing signs of becoming real, as researchers have determined that blocking a gene in mice stops the weight gain and prevents all affections associated with obesity. What’s even better, Med Page Today informs, this happens without the mice working out more and even when on a high-fat diet. If this also applies to humans and a pill that can block the gene can be developed, this can be the end of the obesity pandemics, researchers hope. Alan Saltiel, who led the study in mice at the University of Michigan in the US, initially set out to establish the exact connection between obesity and diabetes, so understandably he was more than surprised when he realized he managed to prevent the onset of obesity altogether. In mice, at least. By blocking the gene in question, known as IKKE, the mice no longer gained weight no matter what they did, meaning, even if they did not exercise more or if they continued to be on the same high-fat diet !
as before. All this was possible by means of a compensation in their organism, which meant they just burned more calories. “We’ve studied other genes associated with obesity â€" we call them ‘obesogenes’ â€" but this is the first one we’ve found that, when delete...
