Fats might help to solve part of the diabetes problem

Diabetes is a growing disease in almost every part of the world. The scientist are fighting day in and out to find a successful way to deal with it. According to a new discovery it has been described that the fat recycling system along with the pancreatic beta cells helps to find the amount of insulin they leave and can be helped to figure out diabetes therapies in the coming future. The small structure that is inside the beta cell called ‘lysosome’ is an intracellular recycling unit. This helps to breaks down the unwanted fats and proteins so that it can be reused in future. The co-researcher Gemma Pearson explains, “There are many different ways fats can be used within the beta cell – so if you stop them being recycled, you force them to be used in a different way. When you shift fats from the lysosome, you store them in other parts of the cell, and they become available to participate in various signaling pathways. One of these pathways clearly increases insulin secretion.”
