How genetic differences in fat tissue shape men and women’s health risks. – Brinkwire
New University of Virginia research is revealing how genetic differences in the fat in men’s and women’s bodies affect the diseases each sex is likely to get.
Researchers Mete Civelek, Warren Anderson and their collaborators have determined that differences in fat storage and formation in men and women strongly affect the activity of 162 different genes found in fat tissue. Further, 13 of the genes come in variants that have different effects in men and women.
Some of those genes identified ha…
