Dragonfly’s metabolic disorders help explain Human Obesit

Researchers from Penn State University have unearthed clues,from studies on dragonflies, that may help in understanding obesity in humans.// The study has revealed that when dragonflies are infected with certain parasites they suffer from metabolic disorders. These disorders are very similar to the Type -2 diabetes seen in humans. Obesity is frequently seen associated with diabetes. The...
