Venomous Lizard Offers Breakthrough in Diabetes Treatment
Summary:
In 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Byetta (exenatide) for treating Type II Diabetes. Unlike many drugs developed in laboratories, Byetta's active ingredient is derived from the venomous saliva of the Gila Monster lizard.Article:
In a surprising turn of events, a groundbreaking remedy for Type II Diabetes was discovered in the saliva of the Gila Monster lizard. This unexpected origin sets Byetta (exenatide) apart from typical lab-produced drugs. Approved by the FDA in 2005, Byetta has become a vital tool in diabetes management.
The Gila Monster, native to the deserts of the southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico, is one of the few venomous lizards in existence. This slow-moving, thick-bodied creature preys on small rodents, birds, and eggs, delivering venomous bites that, while not fatal to humans, contain a component beneficial in diabetes treatment.
For those with Type II Diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, insulin deficiency, and hyperglycemia, Byetta offers several advantages. It aids glucose management by:
1. Stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin when glucose levels are high.
2. Regulating the liver to prevent unnecessary glucose production.
3. Slowing the rate at which sugar enters the bloodstream.
Remarkably, studies also indicate that exenatide use can lead to weight loss, addressing the challenge some diabetes patients face in managing blood sugar levels due to excess weight. The drug's effectiveness is due to its ability to activate multiple glucose control pathways simultaneously.
Previously a protected species in the U.S., the Gila Monster's contribution no longer requires animal sources, as exenatide is now synthesized in labs.
Although Byetta's discovery might sound like a tale from a horror story, it marks a significant advancement in diabetes treatment. It's important to note that this is not a case of folklore medicine but a scientifically backed breakthrough.
