Know how proteins stimulate blood vessel growth

Updated:6 years, 10 months ago

New Delhi, Dec 10 (ANI): According to a new research, inhibiting proteins within blood vessels can stimulate their growth, resulting in healthier fat tissue and lower blood sugar levels. A research conducted on improving blood vessel growth showed how to mitigate serious health problems that arise with obesity, such as diabetes. The researchers investigated a process of the vascular system called angiogenesis and whether inhibiting FoxO1 protein would stimulate adipose angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the formation of tiny blood vessels called capillaries. It helps to maintain normal healthy functions in tissue, particularly when that tissue enlarges. However, when the tissue expands as it stores excess fat, angiogenesis is repressed and new capillaries fail to grow. This results in unhealthy adipose tissue, which increases the risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
