Tokyo: If you are unable to control your urge from snacking over chips, ice creams or chocolates, blame it on a gene. A team of Japanese researchers has identified the role a gene plays in stimulating the brain, causing people to overeat.
Recently, it became clear that a gene called CREB-Regulated Transcription Coactivator 1 (CRTC1) is associated with obesity in humans.
When CRTC1 is deleted in mice, they become obese, indicating that functioning CRTC1 suppresses obesity.
However, since CRTC1 is expressed in all neurons in the brain, the specific neurons responsible for suppressing obesity and the mechanism present in those neurons remained unknown, according to the study published in the FASEB Journal.
Yeah, pretty much the only time I've ever had just one potato chip was when it was a flavour I didn't like . When I do like them, I'll forever have "just one more" until I run out... fortunately, I no longer get those big sharing bags .
What about you?
