| Research Abstract |
T o date, we do not know how dietary habit in childhood affects the development ofobesity later in life. We identified that LSD1, a gene regulator , controls the cellularmetabolism in response to the energy overload. Our findings provide important clues forunderstanding how environmental factors influence the disease risks
