A recent American study revealed the presence of protein inside the stomach that plays a major role in the development of obesity, and through controlling its rates, therapeutic techniques can be found to lose weight and maintain it.
The Medical Express website stated that the study conducted by researchers at Indiana University revealed that the protein "GKN1" produced by the stomach is a protein that is resistant to digestion, which allows it to pass into the intestine and interact with the microbes in it.
The researchers found that inhibiting this protein led to large differences in weight and levels of body fat, which means that controlling this protein at low rates contributes to weight loss and the fight against obesity.
When examining the role of this protein in the metabolism and the levels of calories and triglycerides in mice, the researchers concluded that the sample at which GKN1 was inhibited was less weight and had lower levels of fat despite consuming the same amount of food when following A high-fat diet compared to its peers at which this protein was not inhibited.
