Heritable variation in food preferences and their contribution to obesity.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 1997

Reed D R, Bachmanov A A, Beauchamp G K, Tordoff M G, Price R A

Abstract excerpt

What an animal chooses to eat can either induce or retard the development of obesity; this review summarizes what is known about the genetic determinants of nutrient selection and its impact on obesity in humans and rodents. The selection of macronutrients in the diet appears to be, in part, heritable. Genes that mediate the consumption of sweet-tasting carbohydrate sources have been mapped and are being isolated...
