Diabetes Research Reveals Important Link to Overcoming 'Lazy Insulin Granules'

[Northerner]

Scientists at Toronto Western Research Institute have made an important discovery on the role of a SNARE protein known as VAMP8 in the release of insulin from the pancreatic islet beta cells. The study, Dual Role of VAMP8 in Regulating Insulin Exocytosis and Islet β-cell Growth, published July 26 in the journal Cell Metabolism will further our understanding of how the body can produce higher levels of insulin in patients with diabetes.
