Fish livers 'are good source of beneficial fatty acids'

A team of researchers from the University of Almeria (Spain) has confirmed that fish livers are a good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial to health Anchovies are one of the fish whose livers contain the highest levels of these substances. "The livers of edible fish are a good source of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), especially those in the  omega  3  family, such as eicosapentaenoic acid  (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA )," said Jose Luis Guil-Guerrero, lead author of the study.

Mechanism that could provide potential cure for diabetes identified

P eople develop diabetes because they don''t have enough pancreatic  beta ce lls t o produce the insulin necessary to regulate their blood sugar levels. .   But now, researchers from UCLA''s Larry L. Hillblom Islet Research Center have discovered the underlying mechanism that could convert other cells in the body into the insulin-making cells, which could provide a potential  cure  for  diabetes . While the current standard of treatment for diabetes —  insulin therapy  — helps patients maintain sugar levels, it isn''t perfect, and many patients remain at high risk of developing a variety of medical complications. Replenishing lost beta cells could serve as a more permanent solution, both for those who have lost such cells due to an immune assault ( Type  1  diabetes ) and those who acquire diabetes later in life due to  insulin  resistance  (Type 2).
