(ORDO NEWS) — American scientists have studied the epigenetics of exercise. During the experiment, experts examined differences in gene expression using identical twins as an example.
As part of the study, 70 pairs of twins were invited, the habits and characteristics of which the scientists carefully studied.
The experts also determined the level of physical activity of the participants in the experiment.
So, scientists came to the conclusion that the presence of a genetic predisposition to some ailments does not mean that a person will certainly get sick.
Gene expression is influenced by many factors, including sports.
– If genetics and DNA were the only driving force of biology, twins would suffer from the same disease. But it’s not.
This means that there is some kind of environmental influence that provokes the development of the disease, said Michael Skinner, co-author of the corresponding study from the University of Washington.
Recently, biologist and genetics expert Gennady Goryunov, in an interview with Evening Moscow, said that people of the future will lose the ability to walk straight and will wear glasses due to impaired vision.
The reluctance to exercise will affect their metabolism, leading to serious weight problems.
