Does Mycobacteria (MTB) and Methylgloxal cause T-1 Diabetes?
Found this article interesting. Mycobacteria, TB, Diabetes, AGE, Methylgloxal and Macrophages described in the articles below. Interesting that some people have used Methylgloxal as a treatment for cancer. http://royalsociety.org/event.asp?id=3818 The importance of methylglyoxal (a metabolite of glucose) in the development of diabetes will be described. Its possible implications in the fields of Neurodegenerative diseases (autism, Alzheimers and Parkinsons etc), cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, infarctus will be discussed. And the possible primordial role of the gut flora will be evoked. It is perhaps not so surprising that methylgloxal may be considered to be a highly toxic universal poison as it is derived from glucose, a universal source of energy. ———- http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/art…?artid=1762319 Critical Role of Methylglyoxal and AGE in Mycobacteria-Induced Macrophage Apoptosis and Activation Tuberculosis (TB) represents a major threat to humankind, causing ap
