Parents transmit different types of adipose tissue

Researchers of the University of southern Denmark found that parents on a genetic level is passed on to their children the different types of adipose tissue. Scientists conducted an experiment on laboratory rodents.

According to the results, the experimental mice inherited their fathers genes has intensified the development of white adipose tissue, often settling in his stomach area and thighs. According to European biologists, from mother-to-child transmitted genes that contribute to division of brown fat cells that protects against the accumulation of white fat.

Scientists have identified the gene controlling the cells of brown fat. It’s called H19 and is only one percent of the entire genome. Its peculiarity is that it is inherited only from the mother. Thanks to the activation of H19, the body gets protection from obesity and as a consequence from digestive disorders, diabetes, and heart problems.

The research of experts is especially important at the present time when every year around the globe from obesity die up to three million people. And pathology affects not only the citizens of economically developed States, but residents of poor countries. The disease is starting to equate to the epidemic and direct all my efforts to stop its spread.
