JMU scientists studied insulin-producing cells in fruit flies, finding that secretion is influenced by gut hormones, ...

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1 is a member of a family that is involved in growth, development, cell differentiation, and metabolism. IGF1, IGF2 and insulin act primarily through tyrosine ...

It suggests that insulin secretion is not simply controlled by the rise in blood sugar levels, but by more complex mechanisms involving gut hormones. The JMU team also found that IPC activity is much ...

How does the body regulate the activity of insulin-producing cells in order to react quickly to changing conditions? Researchers at the University of Würzburg have investigated this question.

Reduced insulin secretion leads to elevated blood glucose levels and an increased risk of serious complications, such as cardiovascular disease and nerve damage. The exact mechanisms behind ...

Impairment of insulin secretion and defects in insulin action ... production of polyol compounds from glucose are among the mechanisms thought to produce tissue damage from chronic hyperglycemia.

“This showed that loss of insulin secretion in type-2 diabetic beta ... by strengthening the body’s natural defence mechanisms. Now the researchers are focusing on developing small molecules ...

Bromocriptine has not been shown to augment insulin secretion or enhance insulin sensitivity ... composite cardiovascular end point by 40%. The mechanism of the drug's beneficial effect on ...
