New research reveals red blood cells absorb large amounts of glucose in low-oxygen conditions, explaining why high-altitude populations have lower diabetes rates. A drug mimicking this effect completely reversed high blood sugar in diabetic mice.
Scientists at Gladstone Institutes have discovered why living at high altitude reduces diabetes risk: red blood cells absorb large amounts of glucose in low oxygen environments. A drug mimicking this effect reversed diabetes in mice.
