蛋白質幫你長個兒
2003-12-15

【大公網訊】比別人矮半頭的滋味固然不好受,但是一想到那些既昂貴又遭罪的增高方法,身材矮小者也只好認命。然而,日本京都大學研究生院醫學研究專業的中尾一和教授發現,大腦和血管壁中存在的一種蛋白質“CNP”與軟骨發育不全有關,該研究為侏儒症患者和想增高的人帶來希望。

據新華社東京12月15日電,軟骨發育不全是侏儒症的主要原因之一。據時事社15日報道,中尾教授領導的研究小組利用基因技術培育出缺少CNP蛋白質的老鼠,經過一段時間後,老鼠出現了軟骨發育不全的症狀。隨後,研究人員又給患軟骨發育不全的老鼠注入CNP蛋白質,結果老鼠侏儒症症狀有所改善。此外,研究人員給正常老鼠注入CNP蛋白質後發現,該蛋白質有長個兒的作用。研究人員由此推斷,如果給青春發育期的正常人注入CNP蛋白質也可能令這些人長個兒。

中尾教授說,這種方法可使侏儒身高增加約20到30厘米。截至目前,軟骨發育不全無特殊治療方法,通過手術治療患者既受罪,且效果也不太理想。如利用這一成果開發出新藥,患者在治療過程中將沒有任何痛苦。不過,這種蛋白質的增高作用僅在動物實驗中獲得初步驗証,距實際應用還有較大距離。

侏儒症發病率約為萬分之一,日本約有1萬名侏儒症患者。一般男性侏儒症患者身高約為132厘米,女性患者約為123厘米。
