RE: [D.Y.C.A] Query about Byetta

[Hussein Nour Eldin]

Thanks to Om Rafiq I read  following update of Dr. Ruchi Mathur This new medication appears to have many benefits, among which is weight loss. Byetta may be a medication to discuss with your physician if you have type 2 diabetes and are overweight.   The Gila monster can go for prolonged periods without eating. When studied it was found to produce a protein that helped to slow the emptying of its stomach- so it stayed full for extended periods. This protein is very similar to one that human’s make- called GLP-1. Well, researchers have now made a synthetic GLP-1, which has recently been FDA approved for the treatment of diabetes . It is called Exenetide, and marketed under the name Byetta. This injectable medication slows stomach emptying, increases a feeling of fullness, reduces glucagon release from the liver (glucagons causes the release of sugar from the liver into the blood stream) and may help the cells that produce insulin in the pancreas live longer.     From: dyca-eg@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Omm Rafiq Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 9:24 AM To: dyca-eg@yahoogroups.com Subject: [D.Y.C.A] Query about Byetta   As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah Just wondering if anyone in the group is taking Byetta, a new drug that is derived from the chemical compound originally found in the saliva of the gila monster (lizard).
