Genes that helped early humans to cold climate, possibly related to the metabolism of diseases such as obesity and diabetes, according to U.S. scientists. Researchers have found a strong correlation between climate and genetic adaptations that influence the risk of metabolic syndrome with such diseases as obesity, high cholesterol levels, the incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. According to Professor Anna Di Rienzo at the University of Chicago, the air over a long period formed the genetic changes that may be associated with risk of common metabolic disorders. Body weight, skin pigmentation - all signs that are closely linked to changes in the environment, the professor believes. Scientists, it was important to determine whether the genes that contributed in the past to play, people have to adapt to the cold climate, the associated role in the development of diseases associated with metabolic abnormalities.
