Researchers discovered a promising drug, benfotiamine, that completely blocked three biochemical pathways damaging blood vessels in diabetic rats. The study found that benfotiamine successfully normalized retinal tissue and prevented diabetic retinopathy in the animals.
Research reveals women fatigue less than men under aerobic conditions, but equally when deprived of oxygen. Efficient utilization of aerobic pathways results in reduced by-product production, leading to decreased muscle fatigue. Further study is needed to explain the mechanism behind this difference.
A study has found that methylotrophic bacteria and methanogenic archaea share common central carbon metabolism pathways involving C1 transfer reactions. These findings have implications for understanding the evolutionary history of these pathways in all organisms.
Researchers discovered a plant-like metabolic pathway essential for survival of certain parasites, including those causing malaria, toxoplasmosis, and cryptosporidiosis. The finding provides new targets for anti-parasitic medications, including the possibility of medicines related to herbicides.
