Amazing Fact about the South Koreans: Koreans people do not sweat... Do you why?

in #kr8 years ago

For most of us, the use of antihistrosis is an essential part of our daily habits such as washing teeth and face, but did you know that Koreans are people who do not sweat?

Several years ago, scientists discovered that a gene responsible for the secretion of sweat odor, according to scientists from the University of Bristol called this gene, "ABCC11", which determines whether people produce the substance ear wax dry or viscous. Interestingly, those who produce dry waxy substance lack the chemical in the armpit that feeds on the bacteria that cause the smell of the armpits.

While 2 percent of Europeans lack the geniuses of the stinky, most East Asian, almost all Koreans do not have this gene (they have genetic variation or mutation in the gene that causes the smell of sweat).

In a study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology in 2013, a total of 6495 British mothers found that 2 percent had a mutation in the gene. People who have this rare gene are more productive than dry wax. The authors of the study reported that more than 97% of Europeans and Africans have a gene that causes sweat under the armpits.

In contrast, the majority of East Asians and 30-50% in South Asia, the Pacific Islands, Central and Minor Asia, Native Americans do not have a foul odor. Nearly all Koreans have a mutation in the gene, which protects them from the smell of bad sweat.

Scientists assume that there is an amino acid linked to the gene that affects the production of wax and sweat smell, and the bad smell of sweat is associated with the rapid growth of bacteria. Those who have a genetic variation in the gene that causes the smell of sweat are due to the lower production of amino acid that causes bacterial growth.
