Study Finds Dietary Fat Interacts With Genes

..., which produces a protein (APOA5) involved in the metabolism of fats in the body. For 13 percent of people in the study with a specific SNP (-1131T>C), dietary fat intake was not significantly associated with BMI and risk of obesity. We observed an interaction between APOA5 and dietary fat intake, but we...

Hot Flashes: Studies Explore the Various Possibilities Involved

.... Because alcohol consumption is known to affect metabolism in some animals, the team thought that light drinking might alter sex steroid hormone levels in midlife women. But their analysis failed to turn up any significant hormonal differences between the alcohol users and the women who never used alcohol. ...
