The polluted environment affects gene activity, predisposing to overweight, the Japanese reveal. For example, tribuiltin is a chemical used in the paint of vessels, as a preservative in wood and textiles, as a pesticide in agriculture and others.
Tribulutin and its derivatives are extremely toxic to reptiles, accumulating in fish and seafood. Its negative effect on the liver and nervous system, on immunity in mammals is known.
