Swedish researchers recently discovered that a genetic mutation in a key cell causes insulin secretion disorders in some diabetics could open up new avenues for diabetes treatmentInsulin is an anabolic hormone and one of the main hormones that ensures that blood sugar is at normal levels in the bodySome people develop diabetes because the pancreatic beta cells in the body that secrete insulin do not function properlyResearchers at the Karolinska School of Medicine in Sweden reportedly found that when an insulin supply is needed in the body, a special molecule called InsP7 signals to increase insulin secretion, while the gene responsible for regulating this particular molecule in patients with type 2 diabetes mutates in the gene responsible for regulating this particular molecule, causing the pancreatic beta cells to fail to properly secrete the insulin the body needsThe study's lead is important because it could lead to new ideas for diabetes treatment that could lead to ways to repair and control the InsP7 gene, which could lead to the normal secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta cells, the study's director saidThe findings are published in the latest issue of the American journal Science(Haisheng)
