Research shows short-term fasting improves glucose regulation, while long-term fasting in young mice impairs β cell function, ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance remains a major medical challenge of the twenty-first century. Over the last half-century, many hypotheses have been proposed to ...

A theoretical benefit of insulin abuse by body builders is that it is undetectable by currently available tests. A case is presented that highlights the dangers of such abuse. It is well publicised ...

Figure 1: The signalling pathway by which insulin inhibits GSK3 and contributes to the stimulation of glycogen and protein synthesis. Figure 4: The molecular mechanism by which phosphorylation ...

Insulins inhibit lipolysis and proteolysis, and enhance protein synthesis. Instruct patients on diet, exercise, blood or urine testing, proper administration of insulin, change in species of ...
