Researchers find that fruit flies overloading on carbs and protein not only gain weight but have shortened life spans -- and develop insulin resistance, a hallmark of Type 2 human diabetes.
With Type 2 human diabetes climbing at alarming rates in the United States, researchers are seeking treatments for the disease, which has been linked to obesity and poor diet.
Now biologists at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, report they have developed a new tool that will help researchers better understand this deadly disease.
