Born Rotten

British scientists have figured out why we found under slogger and lazy. As usual, the culprit turned to our genes. The researchers carried out an experiment on rodents and found that the treated mice. 20 regions of the genome that have for laziness When normal mice ran a day at the wheel of 5 to 10 km, the lazy - just half a kilometer. As scientists, not to run, one of the lazy wheel folded reported in sawdust and turning it into a bed. Now that we know where the genes lazy mice, the researchers hope to find them in man. And perhaps even be able to do to be lazy workaholic. But this is a long-term future of genetics. Specialists also found that stay-at-home - also hereditary. In the experiment, the same researchers found in the genome of rodents six variants of the gene responsible for physical activity. It turned out, found a gene involved in the regulation of muscle, with a couch potatoes metabolism occur in the muscles, much slower than their active counterparts. Scientists believe that similar regulates muscle activity in humans. For this reason, do not be angry couch potatoes, they are not to blame - it's the genes joke, scientists.
