Molecular mechanism involved in development of type 2 diabetes: Study

Washington [US], March 26 (ANI): Research has identified a molecular mechanism involved in the development of type 2 diabetes. The study was published in the journal, 'Redox Biology'.

The study has described --in patients and animal model samples of type 2 diabetes-- a decrease in mitochondrial proteins that synthesize complex subunits of the respiratory chain. This decrease in proteins is associated with an increase in i
