Elevated angiopoietin-like protein (ANGPTL) 2 levels are associated with the development of Type 2 diabetes, show findings from a Japanese study.
"To our knowledge, this is the first report to indicate that serum ANGPTL2 levels are an independent risk factor for developing T2DM [Type 2 diabetes] in a general population," write Yasufumi Doi (Kyushu University, Fukuoka) and colleagues in Diabetes Care.

The first single gene cause of increased sensitivity to the hormone insulin has been discovered by a team of Oxford University researchers.'Finding a genetic cause of the opposite -- insulin sensitivity -- gives us a new window on the biological processes involved. Such understanding could be important in developing new drugs that restore insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes.'

She adds: 'While there are promising research avenues to pursue here, in the meantime the best way to avoid diabetes remains exercising more and eating less.'
