?A daily pill that could treat or even cure diabetes is a step closer after scientists discovered how to reverse the condition,? reported the Daily Express. It went on to say that this ?groundbreaking finding? has ?huge implications for the health of the nation?.
This study found that injecting a naturally occurring chemical called NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) into mice with type 2 diabetes improved their disease. In female mice fed a high-fat diet, NMN restored the mice?s glucose tolerance to normal. The effects in male mice fed a high-fat diet were not as great. NMN also improved glucose tolerance on male mice with age-related diabetes.
