Progress Against Type 2 Diabetes

Researchers at Oregon State have discovered that a high-fat diet suppresses an enzyme (elongase-five) that process sugars normally. When they changed the diet of lab mice to a very low-fat diet, the enzyme kicked back in and the mice were diabetes-free within 5 days and their triglyceride levels also dropped substantially. The researchers are now researching how this process works and hope to develop a drug that will produce the same result in people.
