The recent study, however, found that by blocking the SCAN enzyme, individuals were protected against diabetes, suggesting a promising avenue for treatment.

Lead researcher Jonathan Stamler explains: “We show that blocking this enzyme protects from diabetes, but the implications extend to many diseases likely caused by novel enzymes that add nitric oxide.”

 
Type 2 specific fwiw
I'm sure the title didn't say Type 2 when first read the thread, but perhaps it did. Who knows! 🙂

Oh - that is trying to get me to recall something that I read quite some time ago about interactions in the Human body which result in the production of nitrous oxide and overwhelm the ability to cope with it - but it seems too long ago now.
Maybe I'll wake up at three in the morning remembering what it was - or perhaps I should just Google it.....
