Here comes another one of those stories where you sit there and read it and start to scratch your head by the end. So scientist are now telling us that we can actually turn ON and OFF your Hormone production. They first wanted to test this Theory out on the "Zebra fish" "The team found that a protein called Otp is involved in several stages of CRH production. As well as directly activating the genes encoding CRH, it also regulates the production of two different receptors on the neurons' surface for receiving and relaying CRH production signals – in effect, ON and OFF switches" says the Levkowitz's lab team.
Critque:
I think this is just cool and would be crazy if it worked on humans
Impact:
The one zebra fish that got it tested on was not hurt so no impact.
