A Master Switch for Fat? Remember, the Leading Killer of Women is Heart Disease!
In the first review, I discuss a recent report from the journal Nature Genetics that has identified on how master regulator gene may contribute to a cascade of metabolic effects in other genes. This gene (KLF14) is linked to type 2 diabetes and cholesterol and is a "master switch" that controls other genes found in fat in the body. In the next report, the importance of recognizing early symptoms of coronary artery disease in women is discussed. These include: jaw discomfort, back pain, heartburn, feeling light-headed, and, cold clammy skin. Heart disease is the number one killer of women and it is important to be proactive.
