New Protein Source Has Pitt Researchers Thinking Diabetes, Obesity Fight
A protein energy source could one day help figure out more information on obesity, diabetes and other diseases according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. Scientist say they’ve cracked the code of a three-dimensional protein structure that could solve some of the puzzle in the battle of obesity and diabetes.
The research was reported in the March 4 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Obesity is one disease that plagues of the 21st century. With it comes other diseases like diabetes and heart disease, which are ailments that break down the body and kill.
Now, the finding of a three-dimensional membrane-encased enzyme could offer some insight.
The protein structure is sugar-alcohol-glycerol. It’s an important source of energy needed by all cells in the body. The protein powers some of the most central body reactions, including regulation of fatty acids and sugar metabolism.
If researchers can solve the puzzle of how cells break down, produce and use glycerol, they might be able to figure how glycerol can fight obesity, diabetes and other chronic disorders.
