A pill that acts as a glucose lowering agent
“What happens in many diabetic patients is this production of glucose by
the liver increases,” Kay said. “One of the strategies for treating
diabetes is to identify glucose lowering agents. They activate
cryptochrome, and when it’s active, it acts like the breaks on
gluconeogenesis – wants to shut down glucose position. For us, we think
we’re at the early stages of a completely new treatment for diabetes.”
