The Claim
The USF1 usf1s1 C>T and usf1s2 G>A polymorphisms are associated with a greater reduction in free fatty acid levels during an oral glucose tolerance test in 407 Caucasian adults, indicating a genetic influence on insulin's ability to suppress lipolysis in adipose tissue.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Certain variations in the USF1 gene are linked to a larger decrease in free fatty acids in the blood during a glucose tolerance test in Caucasian adults, suggesting these genetic differences affect how insulin controls fat breakdown in fat tissue.

People with certain versions of the USF1 gene have a version of a protein that works better at telling fat cells to stop breaking down fat when insulin is present. This means after eating sugar, their fat levels in the blood drop more because their fat cells listen better to insulin’s signal to stop releasing fat.
What the research says
1 studyPeople with certain versions of the USF1 gene had a bigger drop in fat levels in their blood after drinking a sugary drink, meaning their insulin was better at stopping fat breakdown. This shows their genes help insulin work better to control fat.
