Body chemistry linked to obesity found by researchers
A team at the American Therapeutic Society meeting reported a body chemistry cause of obesity unrelated to eating or exercise. They found some individuals produce antibodies blocking thyroxin transport, leading to weight gain, with 15 percent of patients showing such antibodies in studies of 1,500 people. Weight loss followed treatment that restored thyroxin transport. Researchers speculated genetic factors and stress may trigger the condition.
