CALIFORNIA - The dolphins so familiar among researchers because these mammals intelligence. Not only that, on several occasions, the dolphins could be the solution of various human health problems.
Therefore, researchers from the National Marine Mammal Association, San Diego, United States believes, the dolphins might be able to provide solution to the handling of cases of diabetes in humans.
Previously, researchers found that the dolphins were having the same type of diabetes with the man himself. Amazingly, the dolphins have their own way to disable or enable the disease itself.
Based on these findings, the researchers placed great hopes that this discovery could open a new path for researchers to get the latest solutions for people with diabetes.
In humans, diabetes is a symptom of failure of treatment systems in blood sugar levels. In dolphins, diabetes accidentally activated in order to overcome food shortage.
When the dolphin trouble getting food, they automatically make him experience that makes insulin resistance glucose is not released from the blood. As a result, the brain still get the energy supply. Things returned to normal when the supply of food on the dolphins are not obstructed.
One researcher from the National Marine Mammal Association, Stephanie Venn Watson said diabetes was a disease that evolved from earlier disease. "By studying the techniques used by the dolphins, dibates disease can be treated," he said as quoted by dailymail.co.uk, Friday (21/2).
Although very interesting results, the researchers agree not to use dolphin as an object of direct experiment. Researchers only took blood samples and dolphin DNA to be analyzed and developed.
