In mice, targeted deletion of the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, nescient helix-loop-helix 2 (Nhlh2), leads to adult-onset obesity and reduced physical activity. We propose the novel hypothesis that transcriptional activity by Nhlh2 (NHLH2 in humans) controls either the ability or the motivation for exercise.
