    PUFA metabolites may trigger diabetes type I

    Type I diabetes is known as an autoimmune condition. Namely, for some "unknown" reason(s) the beta-cells of the pancreas get attacked by the immune system and over time this leads to their destruction and inability to produce insulin. Of course, no such thing as an "autoimmune" disease exists...

    DHT can stop aging of the pancreatic beta-cells (insulin-producing)

    Another great study, which demonstrates that far from being a "villain" (in both males and females) DHT is in fact a crucial and positive factor in health. In this specific study below, it was demonstrated that DHT dose-dependently inhibited the aging/dysfunction of the pancreatic beta-cells...

    Blocking Endotoxin (LPS) May Reverse/cure Diabetes Type I

    Yet another study demonstrating the key role of endotoxin in the pathology of perhaps the most widespread chronic disease - diabetes. The study below discovered that the proliferation of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas is controlled almost entirely by the TLR4/TLR2 receptor...
