Aspectos genéticos da obesidade

Abstract: A obesidade definida como a acumulação excessiva de gordura corporal deriva de um desequilíbrio crônico entre a energia ingerida e a energia gasta. Neste desequilíbrio podem estar implicados diversos fatores relacionados com o estilo de vida (dieta e exercício físico), alterações neuro-endócrinas, juntamente com um componente hereditário. O componente genético constitui um fator determinante de algumas doenças congênitas e um elemento de risco para diversas doenças crônicas como diabetes, osteoporose, hiperten… Show more

“…The db/db rats presented a mutation in chromosome 4, causing resistance to leptin. These animals showed hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance and neuroendocrine and thermogenic changes, besides hyperphagia and infertility 49,50,54,55 . Later the Tubby (tub) rat was cloned in a joint venture between the Jackson Laboratory, Sequana Therapeutics and the Millenium Group, But this line of tub rats came from a spontaneous mutation in 1977 in the Jackson laboratory, and presented as a recessive autosomal inheritance.…”

“…Furthermore, it was discovered that by crossing (QTL) with known genes, i.e., obese phenotypes vs identified genotype, the influence of quantitative gene loci, and its penetrance in the quantity of body fat and its distribution 49,50 . Furthermore, in the last few years, genetically modified or knockout animals have been produced to study new genes that are candidates to influence the rate of obesity 49 . There are over 50 different types of genetic models of obesity in rodents 51 .…”
