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 ...

Insulin is one of the most potent and pleiotropic hormones in the body, regulating a myriad of physiological processes. However, perhaps none is best studied as its role in regulating glucose ...

Insulin resistance plays a role in many diseases. The new research provides insights into why insulin resistance appears to be associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Corresponding author Kai ...

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 ...

Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and collaborating institutions have found that overnutrition leads to insulin resistance and metabolic disorders through increased activity of the ...

Scientists have revealed how a population of insulin-producing cells (IPCs) in the fruit fly brain works together to produce a concerted response to metabolic demands and internal state changes.

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have succeeded in showing, in an animal model, that the process of insulin resistance in the brain affects both Alzheimer’s disease and ...

When lipid biologist Usha Acharya at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) tinkered with lipid breakdown pathways in Drosophila melanogaster, she observed something intriguing. Blocking a biochemical ...

Can zinc lower blood sugar? Here’s how zinc may influence insulin, glucose levels, and who might benefit from supplementation ...
