"Using X-ray crystallography, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine led by structural biologist Joanne I. Yeh, Ph.D., have become the first to decipher the three-dimensional structure of a membrane-bound enzyme that plays a crucial role in glycerol metabolism - a discovery that could lead to important advances against obesity, diabetes and a potential host of other diseases."Not in a million years.
"Figuring out the complex ways that cells break down or produce glycerol and use this vital chemical could be critical to combating obesity, diabetes and other chronic disorders."Okay, maybe in a million years, give or take a century or two.
Complex is research-speak for "unknowable" during our and our children's and our grandchildren's lifetimes.
"'Everybody wants a golden bullet for obesity, and certainly we need better ways of controlling diabetes," said Dr. Yeh, the study's senior author and associate professor of structural biology at Pitt."The golden bullet exists, fool.
It is called fewer Calories in than out.
If you are ready for the golden bullet and doable ways to use it, go here.
If you are getting sick and tired of meaningless research wasting in the aggregate billions of dollars and siphoning limited resources from important things, go here, and take action.
This is from an alleged institution of higher learning.
Cut-off its funding.
