Chinese scientists recently found that a gene called mtor determines whether a woman can excrete normal and healthy eggs.
, according to Dr. Zhang Teng of the team of Professor Su Youqiang of Nanjing Medical University, the mtor gene "produces" a key factor, MTOR, which maintains signaling paths for nutrition and stress sensing.
researchers tried to knock out the mtor gene at all stages of follicle development in female mice, and found that once the MTOR path is infested, female mice are unable to excrete healthy eggs, leading to infertility.
there any way to prevent it? The findings may be disappointing. "Because the mtor gene has been playing a deciding role since long before a woman was born, " Zhang said.
zhangten suggests that women of childbearing age should maintain a reasonable and healthy diet and lifestyle, exercise appropriately, avoid overstimulation and stress, and maintain the best activity of the MTOR path.
