Obesity leads to liver disease in his father's children

Obesity father at a relatively early age may indicate serious liver problems, his children in the future, the scientists said. People whose fathers faced with the problem of obesity in the last 45 years, a high probability of liver problems, as scientists discovered high levels of descendants of alanine aminotransferase levels, this enzyme shows liver damage. Scientists are trying to study, which was attended by 1732 people of both sexes, to discover evidence the genetic relationship of obesity and liver disease, children. The participants were divided into three groups: the early fathers to the obesity problem, faced more adult and do not know the problem of obesity. The study showed that the presence of the Father with the problem of obesity increases the risk of early high alanine aminotransferase, independent of body weight of the child. Found the association between obesity and the level of the maternal serum alanine aminotransferase in the offspring. According to scientists, there is a close relationship of genes that contribute to obesity fathers, and increased alanine aminotransferase in their children. The results of this study provide the opportunity to require new risk group of people, the prevention of liver diseases.
