Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that regulates release of insulin, a hormone that lowers blood glucose levels, from the beta cells of the pancreas. This mechanism is ...

In a discovery that may further the understanding of diabetes and human longevity, scientists at Scripps Research have found a new biological mechanism of insulin signaling. Their study, involving the ...

Insulin which is released by pancreatic beta-cells is the main regulator of blood sugar. Previous and current studies by a research group at Lund University in Sweden have identified around hundred ...

Investigators at Scripps Research say they have found a new biological mechanism of insulin signaling. Their work, involving the roundworm C. elegans, reveals that a “decoy” receptor is at work in ...

Scientists at the Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have demonstrated that targeting the chromatin protein SMNDC1 will stimulate alpha cells to produce insulin ...

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

Insulin which is released by pancreatic beta-cells is the main regulator of blood sugar. Previous and current studies by a research group have identified around hundred different receptors on the ...

In a new study, researchers at Uppsala University have identified a previously unknown mechanism that regulates release of insulin, a hormone that lowers blood glucose levels, from the β-cells (beta ...
