Protein That Alters Blood Glucose Levels (E)
Researchers at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain have discovered a protein that alters blood glucose levels in organisms. According to this research, the protein called p-53 regulates the glucose production in organisms and is therefore responsible for blood glucose levels. Researchers also found that this protein is altered in patients with diabetes..Previous studies have confirmed the protective role of the p-53 protein against cancer, but its potential involvement in liver glucose production under physiological conditions had not been analyzed so far.
