Weight loss and active lifestyle can help to counteract the
effects of obesity, a new study has suggested. Our skin secretes
an antibiotic called dermcidin, which could act as a potent
weapon against tuberculosis (TB) and dangerous bugs, says a
study. A natural antibiotic created from human sweat could fend
off deadly strains of tuberculosis and other dangerous
superbugs, researchers claim. Dermcidin is produced by our skin
when we sweat, and it fights off germs when skin is injured by a
cut, scratch or bug bite. An international team of scientists
has discovered how an important natural antibiotic called
dermcidin, produced by our skin when we sweat, is a highly
efficient tool to fight tuberculosis germs and other dangerous
bugs.
