Enzyme discovery that nullifies the harmful effects of excess sugar

Enzyme discovery that nullifies the harmful effects of excess sugar

Sugar is so good, too bad that it hurts! It is very difficult to combine flavor and health when it comes to refined carbohydrates, nutrients directly linked to metabolic health problems such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, scientists at the University of Montreal (Canada) research center have found an enzyme that may be the solution to these problems.

Glycerol-3-phosphate-phosphatase, or simply G3PP, is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of energy within the cell, which has glucose as one of the fuels. Expression of this enzyme can control the breakdown of glucose in beta cells of the pancreas. Thus, it also influences the production of insulin, a hormone that puts sugar into cells.

In addition, G3PP can protect organs, including the pancreas, from the toxic effects of excess glucose in the body by degrading glycerol-3-phosphate, a substance that increases when there is too much sugar in the blood and can degrade body tissues.

Finally, it also regulates other physiological processes, such as the accumulation of lipids in the fat layers in the body and the metabolism of nutrients. When these processes do not work right, the person may have obesity, type 2 diabetes or even cardiovascular disease. Therefore, discovering and getting to know this enzyme will help to offer new alternatives for the treatment of metabolic diseases.

Cholesterol levels may be linked to Alzheimer's

Cholesterol levels may be linked to Alzheimer's

A study done at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, and published in the journal Neurology, found that high levels of bad cholesterol in the blood may be associated with the onset of Alzheimer's. researchers used blood tests for cholesterol in 147 Japanese adults, about 10 to 15 years before their deaths.
