“Scientists working with genetically engineered mice at the Salk Institute discovered a molecular “switch” that enhances the animals’ stamina and appears to burn fat, the group reported today.
The discovery of the switch, a receptor called PPAR-delta, could lead to treatments in people for obesity and related disorders such as heart disease and diabetes, according to the Salk Institute study.
The study, led by professor Ronald Evans and postdoctoral fellow Yong-Xu Wang, will be published in the September issue of the Public Library of Science Biology journal.”
