Tampa, FL (PRWEB) September 28, 2011
Study Identifies Possible “Master” Type 2 Diabetes Gene: Australian scientists may have found the answer to reversing Type 2 diabetes. A study published in the journal "Diabetes" describes the research team's efforts in discovering a that high-fat diets activate the gene responsible for the disruption of insulin production in pancreatic beta cells that triggers on the onset of Type 2 diabetes. The researchers conducted their investigation at the Diabetes and Obesity Research Program at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney.

Type 2 diabetes, sometimes called adult onset diabetes because it typically occurs later in life, is caused by both genetic factors and environmental ones such as poor diet, little exercise and being overweight. Production of insulin by the beta cells of the pancreas is reduced drastically in Type 2 diabetics; the lack of insulin causes elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream. Insulin normally carries that glucose out of the blood and into cells, which use it as energy.
The gene discovered by the Australian research team is known as ld1. It lays dormant in individuals who eat a healthy diet and get regular exercise, but according to the researchers, high-fat diets trigger the gene into activating. Once active, the gene disrupts insulin production in the pancreas, which leads to Type 2 diabetes. Scientists conducted the study on cell cultures and on mice, which are typically used for such investigations since their genetic makeup is similar to that of a human.
According to the researchers' findings, high-fat diets trigger the activation of the ld1 gene in mice. However, suppressing that gene and feeding mice the same high-fat diet did not result in the development of Type 2 diabetes. They also found that pancreatic tissue taken from diabetic patients shows higher levels of ld1, which is also thought to contribute to the growth of cancer cells.
The team's next investigation will center on the feasibility of targeting the ld1 gene in therapies intended to reverse Type 2 diabetes. “The drugs could help the beta cells continue to produce insulin and protect them from the effects of a high-fat diet," said Dr. Laybutt. "So even when you were having this high-fat diet your beta cells would be protected against the normal deterioration that occurs. That's the potential. You wouldn't have diabetes anymore because it only occurs when the beta cells fail to secrete enough insulin.”
Even if it is discovered that the gene can be targeted for such therapies, Dr. Laybutt cautions that it would be a "five to 10 year process" in testing the medication for safety before it could be marketed and sold.

“cepillos de dientes comestibles” que benefician tu sonrisa [Vía Glamour]

1. Manzanas: Las frutas crujientes como las manzanas son excelente para limpiar la placa y pulir dientes y encías. Además, aumentan la producción de saliva que pueden proteger su salud oral, según expertos.

2. Apio: Al igual que las manzanas, los apios también son buenos para esta tarea, pues su textura crujiente cumple una función similar.

3. Frutillas: Son pulidores por naturaleza de los dientes. Y es que las frutillas producen ácido málico, que mantiene los dientes blancos, según un portavoz de la Academia de Odontología General (Estados Unidos).

4. Queso: El queso cheddar y también otros tipos, contienen un tipo de ácido láctico que ayuda a evitar las caries./biobiochile.cl

CONTEXTO
...
Peñarol River Plate

Carini (6): Dos grandes tapadas. Muy seguro en las salidas. Albín (6): Un reloj.

Tarea segura en marca y eficaz subiendo.

Valdez (7): Jugó sentido. Experiente, seguro, da confianza. A. González (6): Buen partido. Muy atento en la marca.

D. Rodríguez (6): Jugó a oficio casi todo el partido porque muy rápido le sacaron amarilla. Torres (8): Le faltaba jugar con confianza. Un golazo de 30 metros. Gran corazón para el ida y vuelta. Freitas (7): Gran rendimiento. Despliegue, marca, apoya. W. López (7): Más suelto, más ordenado, hizo un gran gol. Pedro (9): La figura. Puso la frutilla a la torta que construyó todo el equipo. Dos golazos y dos asistencias. Silva (6): Estaba jugando bien cuando se lesionó. Zalayeta (7): No tuvo mayor lucimiento personal, pero fue pieza inteligente de equipo. Zambrana (5): Alguna jugada individual de lujo. Siles y Cristóforo jugaron pocos minutos y no desentonaron.

Laforia (6): Sin culpa en los cuatro goles que recibió. Además evitó que el resultado fuera mayor. Silva (5): Con mucha voluntad, le bastó para ser el único que se salvó del fondo. González (4): Mal partido del capitán. Además se fue expulsado. Prieto (3): Falló en casi todo. Para el olvido. Cabrera (3): Perdió todas. Pereira (3): No paró a nadie. Bien sustituido. Porras (4): Quiso mucho, hizo poco. Janderson (3): No gravitó. Lo cambiaron en el entretiempo. Pires (4): Algunas intentonas, y poco más. Olivera (4): Muy entreverado, aunque voluntarioso. Leyes (3): Escasísima contribución. Franco (5): De los pocos que intentó cambiar algo, aunque casi no fue asistido. Rissoto (5): Otro de los que buscó. Taborda (4): Hizo soñar a los darseneros, pero se lesionó a los pocos minutos de entrar. Siguió en cancha porque Almada no tenía más cambios.
