Researcher have identified thirty one regions of genome associated with circulating metabolites
In a study to the genetic variance of human metabolism, researchers have identified thirty one regions of the genome that were associated with levels of circulating metabolites, ie, small molecules that take part in various chemical reactions of human body.
Now, scientists involved in a massive genetic study have come a step closer to understanding the latter's role, identifying 95 DNA regions associated with cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
