Researcherscomparedthegenomesofpolarbearswiththoseofbrownbears,andfoundthatpolarbearshaveaccumulatedgeneticchangesthatboosttheirhearthealthandfatmetabolism.
研究人员们通过比较北极熊和棕熊的基因,发现北极熊的基因组中积累了不少有利于心脏健康和脂肪代谢的.遗传突变。
Onegeneinparticular,calledApoB,helpsmovecholesteroloutoftheblood—whereitcausesproblemsinhumans—andintocells.
特别是编码为载脂蛋白B的基因有助于清除血液中对人类有害的胆固醇转变成细胞代谢。
