SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 25 -- The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued the following news release:
Scientists in Texas and Pennsylvania have identified a protein sensor that restricts how much sugar and fat our cells convert into energy during periods of starvation. It is possible, the scientists say, that the sensor could be fine-tuned to prompt more sugar and fat conversion in people with metabolic conditions such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascula . . .
