People with risk of diabetes or celiac disease-intolerance to gluten-may follow a normal diet, thanks to a new drug developed by the University of Baltimore and the company Alba Thera-peutics, USA.

Known as AT 1001. The drug acts on the zonulina, a protein that regulates intestinal permeability and appears at higher levels in diabetics and Celiacs.
It is expected that the AT 1001 is marketed in 2006.
