Genetic Test For Diet Programs That Always Fail

Weight loss is not also down despite eating a low-fat? Maybe you need a genetic test to determine what programs like the ideal diet and it worked.

A small study involving about 140 with a woman who is overweight or obese indicates that those who make more genetically appropriate diet lost weight compared with the diet who did not fit. The results of this study have been reported by researchers in the meeting of the American Heart Association.

"Using genetic information will be more potential in terms of weight loss and help solve the obesity problem in society who increasingly high," said Christopher Gardner of Stanford University in California, as quoted by
Reuters. In this study three genes will be sought who have mutations of FABP2, PPARG and ADRB2. Three mutations of this gene suggest someone responds both low-fat diet, low carbohydrate diet or a diet for both the fat and carbohydrates. Researchers randomly selected one of the dietary patterns of 140 women, and a team of researchers conduct DNA tests with using a cotton cheek to see if they already get a reply according to dietary pattern or is not.

After more than a year, a woman who does the diet according to genetic successfully lose weight by 5.3 percent. While the diet is not fit the pattern who only managed to lose weight by 2.3 percent. Who performed this test to find what the gene can affect metabolism.

"One of the gene variation may affect the absorption of fat in the intestine. People with certain gene mutations can absorb more fat from their food, so it should reduce your fat intake if you want to do a diet," said Ken Kornman, chief scientific officer of Interleukin.

Kornman added that there are variations in other genes clincher response to insulin, the body produces insulin to process sugar who would later influence the absorption of carbohydrates. In certain genes, simple carbohydrates like sugar and flour will store more energy in the form of fat.

"About 16 percent of women who have two mutations make it a must to keep your intake of fats and carbohydrates," said Kornman.
Future studies will be conducted to determine whether a diet program who fit this genetic kenyg could also affect a person's sense or not.
