Michelle Bohan, a student of Iowa State University is on the way to find a link between obesity and hormones that stimulate appetite! She is working on the project with three other ISU professors.


According to her, People should add a little bit more protein and decrease the carbohydrates in their diet to achieve good health.

By tracking the hormone levels in people, she came to the conclusion that fat women don’t have as much of a hormone to decrease insulin resistance as lean women. She is eying for the food, which increase and decrease the levels of this hormone in the body.



She hopes, the study will provide more choices to obese people. To research further on this project, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is granting her aid.
