"We all have these variants in our genes," says Ray Rodriguez, a geneticist at the University of California at Davis. "And they affect how we absorb, utilize and store various nutrients...
...research is focused on a protein called perilipin, which coats the surface of stored fat in fat cells. "I know perilipin helps regulate the breakdown of fat," he explains. But Greenberg is trying to find out whether there are normal variations in the gene that codes for perilipin that affect a person's risk of becoming obese or developing diabetes. In a study conducted with Ordovas of 1,600 people in Valencia, Spain, Greenberg determined that some of the mutations do seem to correspond to a thinner physique and reduced glucose and triglyceride levels. But other variations in the same...
...genes we've identified that have a clear and defined response to diet and environmental or lifestyle choices," says Rosalynn Gill-Garrison, a molecular biologist who helped found the Sciona company in 2000. Worried about that caffeine-calcium link? Sciona tests for that, as well as genetic variants that affect insulin sensitivity, cholesterol levels and more...

...April not only saw fusarium on the paintings but also noticed a grayish tinge to formerly black surfaces where growths had been removed. When the quicklime was removed from the cave over the course of last year, so too was what was left of the soil--which could affect the cave's climate and humidity.
