Can frogs spawn a new treatment for Type 2?

[Northerner]

Recently the drug exenatide (a man-made version of a protein found in the saliva of Gila monster lizards) has been developed into a therapy for improving blood glucose control in Type 2 diabetes. This has spurred interest in the search for other novel proteins that might be useful in diabetes management. Accordingly, researchers at the University of Ulster have perfected techniques for testing whether short portions of skin proteins from amphibians (e.g. frogs, newts and salamanders) can help to control blood glucose.
