超过80％的糖尿病人同时也患有肥胖,但还很难找到这两种症状间的联接。现在,经过费城宾夕法尼亚医学院的Mitchell Lazar和他的同事在小鼠身上的一系列试验,证实一种由脂肪细胞分泌的被称为抗素(resistin)的蛋白质在糖尿病中起着重要的确作用。 More than 80% of diabetics also suffer from obesity, but it is still hard to find the link between the two symptoms. Now, a series of experiments in mice by Mitchell Lazar and his colleagues at the Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia confirm that a protein called resistin secreted by fat cells plays an important role in diabetes.
