Aspirin increases the amount of insulin produced by healthy obese people
Aspirin has been around forever and is still a miracle drug of sorts. What is one of our first lines of defense when people infarct? Four baby aspirin. What do we use to help prevent stroke? Aspirin. And now aspirin-like compounds can claim yet another huge health benefit- increasing the amount of insulin produced by ‘healthy’ obese people.
This is a very promising discovery towards treating type 2 diabetes.
The researchers found that administration of triflusal led to decreased fasting serum glucose. Contrary to their expectations, insulin sensitivity did not significantly change during the trial. Insulin secretion, however, significantly increased in relation to the dose size.
In conjunction with the human samples, mice and human cells from a lab setting were also examined.
