The great discovery of local researchers from the University of Debrecen has been published in a number of prestigious scientific journals recently. The discovery may potentially help patients suffering from diabetes.The researchers have found materials that can improve beta-cell function.
Diabetes is a group of diseases n which the insulin-producing beta-cells are lost or when the tissues do not respond to the insulin produced. The researcher group that was led by two local scientists- Péter Bay and László Somsák – made a significant discovery. According to this, certain compounds called glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors can stimulate the operation of the insulin-producing beta cells.
The discovery has been published in two well-known scientific journals: the British Journal of Pharmacology and Pos One.
