Domestic researchers have developed a medicine that effectively suppresses diabetes and complication from the disease.

A team led by Cho Kyung-hyun at Yeungnam University said on Wednesday that it developed the medicine by recombining a new high density lipoprotein called “V156K-HDL.”

The team said that animal testing on zebrafish showed the medicine was effective in promoting insulin secretion, enhancing antioxidant activity and suppressing inflammation.

The findings appeared at the international academic journal of “Rejuvenation Research.”
