Overweight? Maybe You Really Can Blame Your Genes

According to one study there is an explanation on how it doesn’t always matter if we eat the same and exercise the same as others and we still end up gaining more weight, giving another clue into the huge obesity puzzle.

This study explains how some people gain weight, that it might lie in their genes, since body weight is strongly inherited. Using mice eating their usual regimen and exercising normally, but who continued to gain weight after researchers had deleted a helper gene known as MRAP2, that acts in the brain to control weight and how quickly calories are burned.

This rare gene-disabling mutation is intriguing because it seems to explain something different, that even if they eat what they should eat they were gaining weight, but as adults, the mice with the missing gene developed monstrous appetites.
