According to news from foreign media, British scientists recently discovered and confirmed a gene that is related to obesity. The number of genes is inversely related to obesity. The scientists named the gene AMY1.

Researchers at Imperial College in the United Kingdom said that AMY1 is responsible for coding the saliva amylases in the body. This enzyme can be of great significance for the decomposition of carbohydrates in the oral cavity. They found that the lower the level of saliva amylase in people carrying the AMY1 copy, the more difficult it is to break down carbohydrates, making them more at risk of obesity. Researchers who analyzed data with fewer than 4 copies of the AMY1 gene were 8 times more likely to have obesity than those with more than 9 copies of the gene.
This study is a scientist's confirmation that obesity is related to human genetics. They believe that research on this kind of obesity gene will help find a better solution to obesity.
