"Zinc’s role in preventing diabetes damage: new research"
In type 2 diabetes, a protein called amylin forms dense clumps that shut down insulin-producing cells, wreaking havoc on the control of blood sugar. But zinc has a knack for preventing amylin from misbehaving. Recent research at the University of Michigan offers new details about how zinc performs this “security guard” function. The findings appear in the July 8 issue of the Journal of Molecular Biology.
