The researchers believe that evolution is the cause of people turning into diabetics. Evolution is defined as the transformation over time the proportion of an individual that is contrary to one or more inborn traits. Evolution occurs when there is a variation of inborn traits. Classifications of variation are mutation, genetic recombination and gene flow.
The research was conducted at the Stanford University School of Medicine, and recognized the diabetes fact that the genetic variability of insulin, the hormone in the exhaust – a substance that is responsible for regulating insulin. High blood sugar related to diabetes that undertakes usually when the body is not able to create their own insulin.
The findings could help physicians understand more about diabetes and find a way to cure it permanently. This shows that the disease progresses, it changes our predecessor from hunter to be dependent on agriculture in the way of life.
According to the investigation by Sheau Yu Teddy “Hsu, PhD, associate professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and senior author of the study. Of the 207 genetic regions that may be linked to diabetes and obesity. They are able to identify the prevalence of people who started to depart from Africa about 60,000 years ago. 59 sites have been identified in approximately 30% of the HapMap Project – a general review of the difference between the inhabitants.
Scientists are able to distinguish five different genes that are inherited regular Asian and/or Europeans but not Africans. One of the five genes in GIP (glucanase inhibitor protein), and found it as the most interesting. GIP stimulates insulin secretion in humans after a meal.
They approved on the fact that the existence of three different changes in different regions of the GIP, GIP gene closest to the DNA, also affects how and when it turns into a protein – to reduce the concentration of the hormone.
