摘要: What an animal chooses to eat can either induce or retard the development of obesity; this review summarizes what is known about genetic determinants nutrient selection and its impact on obesity in humans rodents. The macronutrients diet appears be, part, heritable. Genes that mediate consumption sweet-tasting carbohydrate sources have been mapped are being isolated characterized. Excessive dietary fat intake strongly tied obesity, several studies suggest a preference for resulting partially genetically determined. Identifying genes involved excess will be important key our understanding disposition toward common obesity.
