Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a hidden molecular "control switch" inside a protein that helps the body ...

Cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR) denotes an early neuroendocrine response whereby sensory cues associated with food—most notably taste—prime the body for nutrient assimilation. As food stimulus ...

Glycine, a non-essential amino acid derived from serine, plays an increasingly recognized role in metabolic regulation.

Prof. Heiko Lickert is the director of the Institute of Diabetes and Regeneration Research at Helmholtz Munich, professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and member of the German Center ...

A new study suggests that one of the most common diabetes treatments may speed type 2 diabetes progression by causing insulin-producing cells to lose their functional identity. Sulphonylureas have bee ...

Explore the TRPM5 protein, a crucial molecular control switch for taste, blood sugar regulation, and gut health discovery.

Duke University scientists have discovered that pancreatic alpha cells, long believed to only produce glucagon, actually generate powerful amounts of GLP-1 — the same hormone mimicked by popular ...

People with type I diabetes have to inject themselves multiple times a day with manufactured insulin to maintain healthy levels of the hormone, as their bodies do not naturally produce enough. The ...

Insulin resistance affects millions of people worldwide, yet many don’t realize their bodies are struggling to process blood sugar effectively until more serious health issues develop. This metabolic ...
