Reading Material(阅读材料) Stopping Diabetes~1 In Its Tracks~2 Preliminary~3 studies suggest that a potent~4 immunosuppressive~5 drug used in transplants may prevent or delay for years the onset of type Ⅰ diabetes~5, also known as~6 insulin-dependent diabetes~7, which affects between 750.000 and one million Americans. The drug, azathioprine~8 (brand name Imuran), appears to work by halting~9 the body’s attack on insulin-secreting cells in the pancreas. Insulin helps most of the body’s cells utilize biological fuels, especially glucose. In the absence of~(10) insulin, body cells starve, resulting in~(11) coma and death.
