Studies suggested that your genes determine up to 80% of your weight and body shape. A new genetic test may help pinpoint those genes that inappropriately metabolize certain nutrients and lead dieters toward the best weight loss program to reach a healthy body weight.
The FABP2 gene, which stands for Fatty Acid Binding Protein 2, affects the absorption of fat from the intestine. People with a mutation in this gene absorb more fat from their food, and should stick to low-fat diets. The PPARG (Peroxisome Proliferators Activated Receptor Gamma) gene affects insulin response. Those with a defect on this gene store more carbohydrate as fat. The Beta 2 Adrenergic Receptor (ADRB2) affected both systems, creating a situation where a person has to watch both carbs and fat.
