Kulunjika mafuta kuchiza khansa

Kwa zaka zambiri, khansa inali nyenyezi ya matenda onse osachiritsika, omwe adakopa mabiliyoni ambiri kuti afufuze, kuphunzira, ndi kuchiza. Mofananamo, anthu mamiliyoni ambiri amene amadwala khansa chaka chilichonse amakhala ndi chiyembekezo chakuti mankhwala angachiritsidwe tsiku lina, osati mankhwala amene amatalikitsa moyo wa munthu.

Mwamwayi, chiphunzitso chatsopano chikugwiritsidwa ntchito pofuna kuchepetsa kukula kwa zotupa za khansa posiya kaphatikizidwe mafuta m'maselo. Mtsogoleri wamkulu wa gulu lofufuza za khansa la Salk Institute, Pulofesa Reuben Shaw, anafotokoza kuti, "Maselo a khansa amabwezeretsanso kagayidwe kawo kuti athandize kugawanika kwawo mofulumira." Kwenikweni zikutanthauza kuti maselo a khansa amatha kukhala ndi moyo kuposa maselo okhazikika. Komanso, Shaw akuwonjezera chiphunzitsochi, "Chifukwa maselo a khansa amadalira kwambiri kaphatikizidwe ka lipid kuposa maselo wamba, tinkaganiza kuti pangakhale magulu a khansa omwe amakhudzidwa ndi mankhwala omwe angasokoneze kagayidwe kake kameneka."

M'mawu a anthu wamba, ma cell a khansa sangakula ngati china chake chikuwalepheretsa kudya ma cell achilengedwe amthupi.

Magazini ya New Scientist, Andy Coghlan, akufotokoza kuti mu 1930's, kuwunika kunapangidwa za maselo a khansa momwe amapangira mphamvu kudzera mu glycolysis. Mosiyana ndi zimenezi, maselo abwinobwino amachita chimodzimodzi pokhapokha ngati ali kuchepa kwa okosijeni.

Evangelos Mechilakis, wa ku yunivesite ya Alberta, adanenedwa kuti, "Tidakali kutali ndi chithandizo, koma izi zimatsegula zenera pa mankhwala omwe amakhudza kagayidwe ka khansa." Mawu awa adanenedwa pambuyo pa woyamba mlandu wa anthu. Onse omwe anali ndi mtundu wowopsa wa khansa ya muubongo.
