This study is significant because among humans, obesity, diabetes, and heart problems that result from these conditions are major causes of death and illness. Individuals are perhaps predisposed to obesity, and this study can open doors to new medications that could increase the activity of MED13, and give many Americans a higher quality of life. On the contrary, maybe it would be better for Americans with certain predispositions to just eat diets that aren't so high in fat. With the amount of processed food and fat in our meat products in this country, we can clearly see what individuals have higher metabolisms that others. A solution could be to feed our cattle grass, instead of corn which they store as fat because they are not designed to digest it. This is an instance where scientific progress may point to individuals taking better care of themselves, instead of just creating another drug or therapy.
