Link Between Hormone Levels and Risk for Metabolic Disease Uncovered

No, wait! This is the key. Really. Not the post above. Really.

Working with a national team of researchers, a scientist from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute has shown for the first time a link between low levels of a specific hormone and increased risk of metabolic disease in humans.

The study, published online ahead of print in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, focuses on the hormone adropin, which was previously identified by Scripps Research Associate Professor Andrew Butler's laboratory during an investigation of obese and insulin-resistant mice.

Adropin is believed to play an important role in regulating glucose levels and fatty acid metabolism.

This is more than Adropin the bucket of s**t research.

Of that you can be sure.
