To read the full abstract: PLoS Genet. 2019; 15(1):e1007603.This genome wide association study reveals new insights into the genetic basis of thinness by investigating a large cohort of healthy persistently thin individuals. In the past, it has been speculated that inheritance of thinness may constitute a protective factor against environmental factors disposing to obesity (1). Neverthel...

To read the full abstract: Nat Comm 2019; 10(1): 1718Steroid receptor coactivator (SRC)-1 mediates nuclear hormone receptors and transcription factor-dependent transcription (1), and interacts with STAT3 (2) an important mediator of leptin-induced POMC expression and hence satiety (3). Src-1 knockout mice are obese (4), however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In a...
