Froguel a dirigé une étude, parue le 03 novembre dans la revue "Public Library of Science Biology", stipulant qu'une anomalie d'un gêne augmente le risque d'obésité sévère. French researcher Phillipe Froguel, professor at CNRS-Institut Pasteur of Lille, eats a hamburger in front of McDonald's 04 November 2003 in Lille. According to a Franco-British study conducted by Froguel and London Imperial College and published 03 November in "Public Library of Science Biology" a genetic abnormality, named GAD2, raises the risk of severe obesity, operating both on eating habits and production of insulin, a hormone secreted during eating.
