A Skidmore College alumnus and professor have been awarded U.S. Patent No. 8,598,150 for use of an antioxidant compound that shows promise in the treatment of obesity and related disorders, such as type-2 diabetes.
The researchers -- Jonathan R. Brestoff Parker, a 2008 Skidmore graduate and currently a trustee of the college, and Thomas H. Reynolds, associate professor of health and exercise sciences -- discovered that treating obese mice with an antioxidant called MnTBAP decreases obesity and improves type-2 diabetes.
