Abstract

When is a calorie not just a calorie? In the current issue of Nature Metabolism, Roy et al. use recombinant inbred strains of mice to investigate the role of genetic background in the response to dietary fat. Notably, both lifespan and weight gain have been found to be highly dependent on genotype, thus highlighting the need for a personalized approach to dietary interventions.
