View story Researchers say 'skinny' gene really exists 2 / 0 http://www.bastionofreality.com/index.php?subaction=showfull... Submitted by murali 15 months, 3 days, 11 hours ago A team of American researchers say they may have found the "skinny" gene after they were able to manipulate obesity among worms and mice. Published in the Sept. 5 issue of the journal Cell Metabolism by researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, the report looks at the role played by a single gene in fat formation. Greater activity in the "adipose" gene -- first discovered in fruit flies 50 years ago -- was found to keep fruit flies, worms and mice skinny, regardless of how much they ate.
