Gout is a great example of a condition attributed to lifestyle, but in reality, genetics and an individual’s biology plays a major role. Nice work @TonyMerriman2
MWC members have played key roles in a major international study that has found gout is a chronic illness where genetics is a major cause.
The work published in Nature Genetics was led by researchers from the University of Otago.

Does the brain make prolactin? - Journal of Neuroendocrinology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jn… This is a somewhat controversial topic, so I’ve written it as an opinion piece. Feel free to contact me if you disagree! I’m open to changing my mind if there is evidence I’ve missed
onlinelibrary.wiley.com Journal of Neuroendocrinology | BSN Journal | Wiley Online Library While prolactin receptor (Prlr) is widely expressed in the brain (right), the equivalent evidence for prolactin expression is lacking (left).
