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

It’s known as negative feedback because an increase in hormone decreases the substance being controlled, e.g. an increase in insulin decreases blood glucose concentration.

The glucoregulatory role of insulin for adult subjects is undisputed. However, less is known about its secretion and actions in the neonatal period, either in healthy subjects, or in those at risk ...

However, steroids can also affect how the body reacts to insulin, another hormone that controls the sugar levels in the blood. As a result, people with or at risk of diabetes need to speak with a ...

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.

Introduction Definition of Peptides Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2 to ...

Adrenomedullin disrupts insulin signaling in blood vessels, leading to systemic insulin resistance in obesity-associated type 2 diabetes.

Within islets, beta cells secrete insulin, and alpha cells secrete glucagon. Scientists have identified three additional cell types in islets, including cells that secrete the hormones ...

Researchers explore the impact of exercise on the short-term regulation of insulin pathways in brain circuits.
