Production of diabetes treatment insulin from rum flowers

Canadian scientists have discovered the cheapest method to produce insulin.

This finding could significantly reduce the cost of treating diabetes - the disease that is consuming the world every year to 132 billion dollars.

To create cheap "grassland insulin", Calgary University scientists have "implanted" an artificial insulin gene into safflower plants. When the gene comes into action, rum flower will start producing insulin faster than traditional methods conducted on pigs, cows, yeast or bacteria.

Safflower is used to extract insulin.

This is the first time a plant can produce insulin, and this production process is very strong, about 4,000m2 of flowers will have 'yield' of up to nearly 1 kg of insulin.

Thus, only 6,475 hectares of cultivated rum can be extracted enough insulin for all people with diabetes in the world.

Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas with a carbohydrate metabolism. Insulin also has the effect of converting fat and liver tissue into energy that ATP provides for the body's living activities. It is the main ingredient to treat diabetes.
