Keep in mind that mice have more brown fat than adult humans have, so this may not give people as big of an effect. Check your genetic data to see if plant omega-3s are a good source for you. Ghrelin: The hunger Hormone Learn how your genes impact your baseline ghrelin levels and how this impacts your weight. Thyroid Hormone Levels and Your Genes Your genes play a big role in how well your thyroid works and how your body produces and converts the different forms of thyroid hormone.

Leptin and ghrelin are two pivotal hormones involved in our desire to eat. Within that leptin pathway, another key regulator of our body weight is MC4R. TNF-Alpha: Higher innate levels of this inflammatory cytokine Do you feel like you are always dealing with inflammation?

Joint pain, food sensitivity, etc? Perhaps you are genetically geared towards a higher inflammatory response.

Tumor necrosis factor TNF is an inflammatory cytokine that acts as a signaling molecule in our immune system. Sign up for the free weekly newsletter packed with interesting new research and article updates. Genetics at work… Contents:. Like what you're reading?
