Thus, in the absence of sufficient cis omega 3 fatty acids in our diet, these fatty acid substitutions take place, the mobility of the GLUT4 transporters is diminished, the interior biochemistry of the cell is changed and glucose remains elevated in the blood- patients and cripple many others before the fight to get it off the market was finally won. Rezulin was designed to stimulate the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream by the peripheral cells and to inhibit the normal secretion of glucose by the liver. The politics of why this drug ever came onto market, and then remained in the market for such an unexplainable length of time with regulatory agency approval, is not clear.”” As of April 2000, lawsuits commenced to clarify this situation.” stream. Elsewhere in the body, the pancreas secretes excess insulin, the liver manufactures fat from the excess sugar, the adipose cells store excess fat, the body goes into a high urinary mode, insufficient cellular energy is available for bodily activity and the entire endocrine system becomes distorted. Eventually, pancreatic failure occurs, body weight plummets and a diabetic crisis is precipitated. Although there remains much work to be done to elucidate fully all of the steps in all of these pathways, this clearly marks the beginning of a biochemical explanation for the known epidemio- logical relationship between cheap, engineered dietary fats and oils and the onset of Type II diabetes. ratedieieneneieeietetenetalincinatenateanenanttieenteted —* iiteadiinediiaammanameaateadtaetettied entire endocrine stem becomes distorted . “Eventually, - Insulin pancreatic failure occurs, body weight plummets and a diabetic Today, insulin is prescribed for both the Type I and Type II dia- crisis is precipitated. betics.
