研究人员发现遗传缺陷,可能有助于减少对食糖食品的渴望。 Researchers find a genetic flaw that may help reduce cravings for sugary foods.

一项新的研究表明,sucrase-isomoltas(SI)基因的遗传缺陷可能有助于减少对食糖食品的渴望。 A new study suggests a genetic flaw in the sucrase-isomaltase (SI) gene could help reduce cravings for sugary foods. 缺乏SI基因或有部分功能性的人食糖量较少,对食糖的偏好也较少。 People lacking the SI gene or having a partially functional one consume fewer sugary foods and have less preference for them. 这一发现可能导致针对SI基因的治疗,以减少食糖摄入量,从而有可能改善消化和代谢健康。 This discovery could lead to treatments targeting the SI gene to reduce sugar intake, potentially improving digestive and metabolic health. 该研究由国际合作者参与,发表在《气体肠道学》杂志上。 The research, involving international collaborators, was published in the Gastroenterology journal.
