The hormone adrenomedullin disrupts insulin signaling in blood vessel cells, contributing to systemic insulin resistance in obesity-associated type 2 diabetes, according to a new study. Blocking ...

Investigators at the Helmholtz Institute have shown that inceptor, an inhibitor of the insulin signaling pathway, acted by binding insulin and targeting it for degradation. “Insulin was discovered 100 ...

The insulin and the IGF-1 pathway are closely intertwined. Both can bind the insulin receptor or the IGF receptor 1 (IGFR-1). IGF-2, on the other hand, can bind either IGFR-1 or the high-affinity IGFR ...

Developing resistance to insulin is a key step on the road to diabetes, making insulin resistance a target for treating metabolic dysfunction. Insulin orchestrates blood glucose levels by signaling ...

“Although the detailed mechanism for the stimulation of intra-islet GLP-1 secretion remains to be elucidated and further studies are required, as far as we know, our present study is the first to ...

Insulin resistance precedes and predicts the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), a chronic disease that causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In affected people, insulin is unable to ...

Saturated fats are often discussed mainly for their role in raising LDL cholesterol, but research shows their metabolic ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte Emerging research suggests certain dietary compounds may strengthen the body’s defences against ...

University of Pennsylvania and Syracuse University scientists have discovered that a hindbrain-derived peptide, octadecaneuropeptide (ODN), can suppress appetite and improve glucose regulation without ...
