Researchers have developed a molecular drug that prevents weight gain in mice that were fed a high-sugar, high-fat diet for life, according to Medical Express, according to the statement.
"We found that deletion of the gene (MRS2), which promotes transport of magnesium into the mitochondria, increases the efficiency of sugar and fat metabolism in power plants," said the co-lead author, co-author of the study in a report by the University of Texas. This mechanism was tested in experimental mice, and the result was healthy, skinny mice, despite their commitment to a diet high in sugars and fats. The liver tissues and fats in the mice did not show any evidence of fatty liver disease, which is a complication related to malnutrition, obesity and type 2 diabetes. .
And the drug, which the researchers call (CPACC), achieves the same thing, as it restricts the amount of magnesium transport to power plants, and in experiments, the result was again obtaining slim and healthy mice, and a patent application was applied on the drug.
