家园 刚看到,来抬几句杠

根据链接8,找到了这篇文章“Obesity Virus: More, Bigger Fat Cells”“肥胖病毒:更多更大的脂肪细胞”。

文中说,

Previous research showed that nearly 30% of obese people, but only 11% of lean people, have been infected with Ad–36. Monkeys experimentally infected with Ad–36 gain significant weight.
翻译过来就是,研究表明:接近30%的患有肥胖症的人感染有腺病毒—36,但是在瘦人中,只有11%的感染有这种病毒。感染了这种病毒的猴子的体重有着显著的增加。

Now Dhurandhar's team finds evidence that Ad–36 has a direct effect on human fat cells. Infection of adult stem cells from human fat triggers their transition into pre–fat cells. And these virus–infected cells hold much more fat than normal pre–fat cells.

The end result: more, fatter fat cells.

Dhurandhar的研究小组现在发现,这种病毒对于人的脂肪细胞有着直接的作用。被感染的脂肪干细胞会直接转化为前脂肪细胞。被感染的细胞,相对于正常的前脂肪细胞,内部含有更多的脂肪。

最终的结果是:更多的,更胖的脂肪细胞。

"We're not saying that a virus is the only cause of obesity, but this study provides stronger evidence that some obesity cases may involve viral infections," Pasarica says in a news release.

Pasarica在新闻发布会上说“我们并不是说一种病毒就是引起肥胖的唯一诱因,但这项研究对某些肥胖病症跟病毒感染有着密切的联系提供了强有力的证据。”

There are some 50 adenovirus strains. Various strains cause some 5% of respiratory infections every year, ranging from mild colds to serious pneumonia. Some of these viruses also cause eye infections. Ad–36 was originally isolated from a German girl with diabetes; however, it has not been linked to any specific disease.

目前存在50多种腺病毒株。其中的某些引起的呼吸道感染占总数的5%,其中包括轻微的感冒到严重的肺炎。其中的某些会感染眼睛。Ad–36最初是从一个患有糖尿病的德国女孩身上分离到的,但是这种病毒与疾病没有关联。

文中还说,目前美国陆军中已经存在一种针对特定腺病毒的疫苗,但是Ad–36 与那种腺病毒相差甚远。

多谢您给出的连接。
