Obesity is invisible

The researchers said that there are many types of obesity with its specific impact on health and obesity can be present even in people with normal body mass index. Reported by data published by the journal Cell Metabolism.

In the United States Professor of genomics the SCRIPPS Research Institute, got my eye on Talenti stated that obesity is a heterogeneous disease, i.e., many closely related to the genetics of each individual. Future therapy obesity will be personalized, says the scientist.

A group of specialists under the leadership of Talenti was engaged in the genome project almost two and a half thousand people with obesity and with normal weight. In addition, participants had a series of blood tests to identify the metabolites, the chemical products of metabolism.

The observations of scientists for the subjects lasted ten years. The obtained data suggest that people can be obese without realizing it. In particular, the researchers observed the participants, which analyses the level of metabolites was confirmed by the presence of obesity, if their body mass index was normal and the figures didn’t look full. Was also observed the reverse pattern: some participants with the symptoms of obesity blood test was absolutely normal metabolism.

In the biological reasons of the discovered phenomenon of scientific experts have yet to understand in further studies.
