Washington, July 11 (ANI): A research team at Kansas State University, including an Indian origin scientist, are studying whether an individual's bitterness sensitivity can help predict his/her risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Lead researcher Kathy Nguyen, senior in public health nutrition along with colleagues Koushik Adhikari and Mark Haub, are studying the genotypes of diabetic and non-diabetic individuals to determine the possible link.
For the study, Nguyen is collecting cheek cell samples from about 60 men and women between the ages of 40 and 70. The sample includes people with and without type 2 diabetes.
