A natural peptide could help tackle obesity and diabetes

Could a naturally occurring peptide help tackle obesity-related diseases, including diabetes? Image credit: Spencer Platt/Getty Images. Peptides are smaller versions of proteins that have a range of purposes, such as the potential to reduce the signs of aging, relieve inflammation, or promote muscle growth. In 2015, researchers discovered a type of peptide called PEPITEM, and recognized its function...

Naturally occurring peptide may tackle the ‘root cause’ of obesity-related conditions

by University of Birmingham Credit: CC0 Public Domain Research published today in Clinical and Experimental Immunology shows that a peptide (small protein) called PEPITEM could provide a revolutionary approach to reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related diseases such as hepatic steatosis (fatty liver). The researchers used an animal model of obesity to investigate whether...
