Cure Research for Metabolic disorders

Medical Research Breakthroughs and Metabolic disorders

Genes that control blood proteins discovered.: A new study shows how genes control levels of many blood proteins implicated in disease. The new study determines how many of the key proteins within our blood are under genetic control, showing that diet and lifestyle are not the only factors influencing its makeup. Maintaining the correct proportions of proteins, fats and other molecules in our blood is critical for normal health. An obvious example is cholesterol: high blood levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol and low blood levels of "good" HDL cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease. Previous studies have shown how cholesterol levels are not only influenced by diet and lifestyle but are also under strong genetic control. This latest study, involving the entire genome, shows how blood levels of many other proteins are under strong genetic control. These proteins include a class of molecules called "interleukins" that are important in inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Interleukins may also play a role in heart disease and related "metabolic" disorders. As an example, the group identified variations in genes that influence "Sex hormone binding globulin," a protein that controls how much testosterone is freely available in one's blood.
