CPT1aL479 resurfaces nicely

Originally from Erik Arnesen, via a retweet by Miki Ben-dor:

Inuit metabolism revisited: what drove the selective sweep of CPT1a L479?

as in

Coconuts and Cornstarch in the Arctic?

The P479L gene for CPT-1a and fatty acid oxidation

The abstract looks very nice, I can't wait to get hold of the full text!

Edit: The paper is long and somewhat repetitive. There is a much neater paper from Amber which people might enjoy:

Evidence on chronic ketosis in traditional Arctic populations
