New route for regulating blood sugar levels independent of insulin

Hello,


New route for regulating blood sugar levels independent of insulin

"Insulin, produced in the pancreas, has been considered the primary means of treating conditions characterized by high blood sugar (glucose), such as diabetes. Scientists have now discovered a second molecule, produced in fat tissue, that, like insulin, also potently and rapidly regulates blood glucose. Their finding could lead to the development of new therapies for treating diabetes, and also lays the foundation for promising new avenues in metabolism research."

And Drug researcher develops 'fat burning' molecule

Scientists have recently identified a small mitochondrial uncoupler,
named BAM15, that decreases the body fat mass of mice without affecting
food intake and muscle mass or increasing body temperature.

Webster Santos, professor of chemistry and his colleagues have recently
identified a small mitochondrial uncoupler, named BAM15, that decreases
the body fat mass of mice without affecting food intake and muscle mass
or increasing body temperature. Additionally, the molecule decreases
insulin resistance and has beneficial effects on oxidative stress and
inflammation.

The findings, published in Nature Communications on May 14, 2020, hold
promise for future treatment and prevention of obesity, diabetes, and
especially nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a type of fatty liver
disease that is characterized by inflammation and fat accumulation in
the liver. In the next few years, the condition is expected to become
the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
