   Abstract : Insulin signaling is one of the master keys for performing proper regulation of energy metabolism. Serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity occur due to mis-regulation of insulin pathway. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the factors that function in the production of insulin and it’s signaling. READ MORE

   Abstract : Over the last few years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been used to identify numerous obesity associated SNPs in the human genome. By using linkage studies, candidate obesity genes have been identified. When SNPs in the first intron of FTO were found to be associated to BMI, it became the first gene to be linked to common obesity. READ MORE
