Why those who has stopped to smoke, have excess weight? ...

The smokers who have said goodbye to the addiction, very often type excess weight. In the new research scientists from the USA have proved, that smoking strengthens activity of a gene which helps an organism to split Adepses. Results of research have been published in magazine Chest.

Scientists for a long time interests, why many people recover, having stopped to smoke. Among the possible reasons were called such, as appetite rising, and also depression of a metabolic rate which usually urges on nicotine.
The doctor Holly Vanni and its colleagues from Kornelsky university in New York have found out, that, in comparison with non-smoking people, in smokers activity of gene AZGP1 in the cells taken from air ways, was much above. As this gene participates in splitting of Adepses and the weight control, results of work specify in the probable reason on which smokers, as a rule, weigh less non-smoking, and also why people type weight, having stopped to smoke.

According to researchers, communication between smoking and weight has a molecular basis, to be exact, as a result of smoking activity of gene AZGP1 amplifies. The previous researches bound to studying of this gene, show, that the gene regulates quantity of Adeps at mice, and also, that in cells of the patients who sick of a cancer and have lost in this connection weight, hyperactivity of gene AZGP1 also can be observed.

Nevertheless, it does not mean, that the increase in weight in connection with refusal of smoking is a consequence of genetic predisposition. The relation between smoking also it is powerful much more difficult, scientists consider, and the set of factors is involved in this process, such, for example, as a food and physical activity.
