Multi-Omics Project
Researchers at UC Riverside, working with UC Davis Proteomics and Metabolomics Cores, found that while most mice gained weight on a high-fat, soybean-oil–rich diet, genetically engineered mice did not. These mice produced a modified liver protein that regulates genes involved in fat metabolism and alters how the body processes linoleic acid. The findings, published in the Journal of Lipid Research, may help explain why some individuals are more prone to weight gain from soybean-oil–rich diets than others.
