FAT COULD FADE WITHOUT GENEFrom the Journal of Science, dieters got a bit of hope yesterday from a study that shows a change in a single gene in mice allows them to eat as much as they want while staying thin - and even live longer.Dr. C. Ronald Kahn, of Harvard Medical School, and colleagues genetically engineered a mouse that lacked a gene called fat-specific insulin receptor. The mice fed freely without gaining much fat and also lived longer than normal mice. Kahn said he is looking for a biotechnology company or pharmaceutical specialist to work with to try and design such a drug. Reuters. --> return to menu / back ...
