New Discovery About Fructose Could Lead To Treatments For Cancer, Obesity And Diabetes - The Latest News
Scientists have discovered how one sugar – fructose – is transported into our cells. This finding could lead to new treatments to tackle cancer, obesity and diabetes. A study at Stockholm University, deploying x-ray crystallography, has found out how our body processes fructose. Here it has been found that a specific protein called GLUT5, functioning at the atomic level, transports fructose through the cell membrane.
