Researchers, Xiaofen Liao, Joshua Sparks, Husen Zhang, and Xin M. Luo, explored this idea with laboratory mice that signified the human population group that most often develops lupus—females of childbearing age (A separate group of the same gender and similar age range served as the control group as well as males). The factors of dietary interventions, genetics, age, and gender were also taken into close consideration and recorded.
