Not all people who have obesity genes will be overweight. Conversely, some people who are overweight will not have these genes. This is because environmental factors also play a major role in causing overweight and obesity. [Pg.22]

Figure 2.3 Researchers are currently studying laboratory rodents, like the mice in the upper photograph, to try to identify specific genes that may lead to obesity. The two mice shown are the same, except that the mouse on the left has had one gene removed. As you can see, the mouse on the left is thin, while the mouse on the right is obese. This leads researchers to believe that the gene removed may help cause obesity. By better understanding the causes of obesity, researchers will be better able to develop treatments for this condition in humans.

Neuropeptides play key roles in appetite regulation and obesity. Many genes for neuropeptides and neuropeptide receptors have been implicated in obesity and cachexia, anorexia and bulimia [34]. For example,NPY administration into the CNS causes overeating and obesity. A second peptide involved in obesity is leptin, a product of adipocytes and the stomach. The leptin gene is defective in the ob/ob mouse but in normal mice leptin binds to its receptor in the hypothalamus, causing a decrease in the synthesis and release of hypothalamic NPY. [Pg.330]

Genetic factors appear to be the primary determinants of obesity in some individuals, whereas environmental factors are more important in others. The specific gene that codes for obesity is unknown there is probably more than one gene. [Pg.676]
