1.Discovery of a new drug that treat insulin resistance,which is not a simple blood glucose lowering drug:We have discovered that Cyclo (his-pro) (CHP),a thyrotropin releasing hormone metabolite,stimulated intestinal zinc absorption and muscle cell zinc uptake.CHP plus zinc (Cyclo-Z) treatment significantly enhanced glucose uptake in muscle cells.Cyclo-Z treatment also increased insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) synthesis in human amyloid protein transgenic mice.Stimulation of IDE synthesis is the mechanism by which Cyclo-Z ameliorates diabetes.
