What the Evidence Shows

We analyzed the available evidence and found that 33.0 assertions support the idea that specific variations in the USF1 gene — namely the USF1S1 C>T and USF1S2 G>A variants — are linked to higher fat breakdown in fat cells exposed to stress hormones, and also to a stronger reduction in fat...
