In a recent issue of Cell, Orthofer et al. (2020) present a body of data from mice, flies, and humans that suggest (1) a physiological role for Alk in the normal control of energy balance across several species and (2) a possible contribution of genetic variants in or near ALK to the variability of adiposity in humans, more specifically at its lower end.
在最近一期的《细胞》杂志上,Orthofer 等人(2020 年)展示了来自小鼠、果蝇和人类的数据,这些数据表明:(1)Alk 在几种物种的能量平衡的正常控制中具有生理作用;(2)ALK 内或附近的遗传变异可能对人类肥胖的可变性,特别是肥胖的下限,有一定的影响。
