Definitely. I hope if they do pursue this that research is also done in humans and not just restricted to laboratory mice, since the results could be quite different considering mice and humans thrive on very different diets; ratios of carbohydrate to fat, etc. Humans tend to do well with carbohydrate restriction and higher levels of fat than mice might be built to tolerate. |
