Does high insulin levels make us fat?

Moreover, it was found that animals with prolonged low insulin levels have a much lower tendency to gain extra pounds, even when they occasionally jump on high-fat food James Johnson of the University of British Columbia, one of the study’s authors, said.

This is an extremely important discovery as it is direct evidence that the insulin cycle in mammals is the main factor in obesity, adds the scientist. It may also open the way to the development of much more effective methods of combating this disease, which is extremely popular in our time, which has already become a global epidemicas the authors of the article write.
