    The lack of NEGR1 may cause pre-diabetes in mainly male mice


    Obesity and diabetes are increasingly serious international problems in recent years


    In 2019, 463 million people worldwide were diagnosed with diabetes, and 374 million people were at risk of developing type 2 diabetes


    Researchers suspect that the gene that causes diabetes is Negr1


    In the experiment, mice of both sexes were used, which has never been done in previous similar studies


    In the glucose tolerance test, the glucose tolerance of mice without Negr1 was much lower than that of mice with Negr1, and they reached a pre-diabetic state


    Since Negr1 promotes depression and schizophrenia, its effect on body weight has so far been considered a side effect of mental disorders


    There is still no reason to despair


    In summary, it can be said that NEGR1 protein affects body weight, appetite and mental health, including the development of diabetes and mental illness
