Monogamous Mice and Diabetes

It always amazes me when I find out the kind of research that scientists do in the quest to find a cure for diabetes. For example, the latest one I’ve heard is from a study out of UC Irvine and the University of South Carolina. In the study, they looked at mice and found that “male mice who were in a calmer, more monogamous species had a higher level of stress hormones and a superior ability to regulate blood sugar compared with mice in another species that is not as calm or monogamous.”

That isn’t to say, of course that monogamy has anything to do with getting diabetes! But it is interesting to note the stress factor.
