Is motor mobility innate?

Studies on mice have partly shown that genes affect active or lazy activity.

Everyone who knows how to work hard will be good for health, but while some people try to practice constantly, for some, a simple idea like running is also a difficult obstacle to overcome.

In two recent studies, researchers from the University of North Carolina, USA, have shown that the desire to exercise can be determined by genes.

In an article in the journal Physiological Genomics, the team published six chromosomes on rats that are closely related to physical activity.

Also in a study published in the Journal of Heredity, the team has identified 17 types of genes that control the extent to which physical movements are performed in mice by conducting interaction between them, The effect on this gene is called the interaction effect between genes. In general, the genes studied in this study decided that nearly 80% of the differences between mice with weak mobility and mice that were more active.

The team said that the results cannot be linked to humans, but the experiences gained help guide: the level of human activity may also depend in part on the genetic factor.

They also point out that the results of this study show a variety of genes, and when creating important gene differences in the rat brain, will affect their level of movement.

According to them, most of the genes in the mouse brain are subject to the regulation of neurotransmitters (dopamine), a substance with a high stimulating effect.
