Publicerad 1 juli 2013 Forskare vid Sahlgrenska akademin har identifierat ett särskilt enzym som verkar vara betydelsefullt för utvecklingen av insulinresistens och diabetes typ 2. Upptäckten kan vara ett viktigt steg mot en ny behandling. Omkring 300 000 svenskar har typ 2 diabetes, som är en kronisk ämnesomsättningssjukdom där grundproblemet är att kroppen bildar otillräckligt med insulin eller

Publicerad 19 januari 2018 Det verkar finnas en inbyggd badrumsvåg i våra kroppar. Forskare vid Sahlgrenska akademin har upptäckt ett kroppseget system för viktkontroll som registrerar kroppsvikten via benen. När vi sitter ner slår systemet fel, tror forskarna. – Det vi upptäckt är potentiellt ett helt nytt system för reglering av fettmassa. Vi hoppas att upptäckten kan leda till en ny inriktning
