A common virus may cause obesity in some people, according to new
evidence in a controlled laboratory study. Scientists showed that
infection with human adenovirus-36 (Ad-36), long recognized as a
cause of respiratory and eye infections in humans, transforms adult
stem cells obtained from fat tissue into fat cells. The study,
which might lead to new treatments for obesity, will be reported in
August at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Boston.
