RE: Obesity and the DNA Repair Protein OGG1

in #steemstem6 years ago

The OGG1 over-expressing mice were just a LOT more active then the normal mice. / OGG1 over-expressing mice was increased, indicative of increased metabolism, which is further coupled with increased CO2 exhalation. The mice were just more metabolically active!

Nature versus nurture to overcome the effect :D

Sort:  

Well the hightened activity could have been a phenotype of the hightened metabolism. Nature vs Artificial protein levels.

Do you know if this led to a shorter life span?

I did not see that discussed. So no, I don't know.
