Abstract and Introduction Brain Insulin Action Local Insulin Production Within the Brain Delivery of Insulin to the Brain References Delivery of Insulin to the Brain In closing, it is interesting to ...

A new study suggests that one of the most common diabetes treatments may speed type 2 diabetes progression by causing insulin-producing cells to lose their functional identity. Sulphonylureas have bee ...

A revolutionary new study using only materials derived from humans has revealed that insulin-producing beta cells can change their function in diabetes -- and that this change may be reversible. A ...

McGill University researchers have identified a brain function that helps explain why childhood stress raises metabolic health risks for some women later in life. A new study found that variations in ...

Researchers have discovered a novel function of brain insulin, indicating that impaired brain insulin action may be the cause of the unrestrained lipolysis that initiates and worsens Type 2 diabetes ...

Glycine, a non-essential amino acid derived from serine, plays an increasingly recognized role in metabolic regulation.

Adrenomedullin disrupts insulin signaling in blood vessels, leading to systemic insulin resistance in obesity-associated type 2 diabetes, according to a new study by a team at the Max Planck Institute ...

Taking 5,000 IU of vitamin D per day may improve insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function for those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, according to findings published in the European Journal of ...

Insulin is a hormone that decreases blood glucose levels. The only cells that produce insulin are pancreatic beta cells (β-cells), and a decrease in these cells is a major cause of diabetes. Although ...

Being obese or overweight is one of the major diabetes risk factors. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, may also be connected to the development of this chronic condition. The hormone plays ...
