Discovery links biological clock blood glucose regulation diabetics->>Biologists Steve Kay and Tsuyoshi Hirota at UC San Diego, in collaboration with UC Santa Barbara professor Frank Doyle, uncovered surprising results when they found a biochemical link between the chemicals that regulate circadian rhythm and blood glucose levels. They found that a key protein, cryptochrome, that regulates the biological clocks of plants, insects and mammals also regulates glucose production in the liver--and that altering the levels of this protein could improve the health of people with diabetes.
