Increased insulin secretion The protein IGFBP7 is regulated by a gene with the same name. When this gene was knocked out in beta cells from people with type 2 diabetes, the researchers found an ...

In the present experiments the effects on insulin secretion of theophylline, a methyl xanthine derivative which inhibits cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 6 and increases the intracellular ...

Insulin is a hormone that allows glucose in the blood to enter cells, providing them with the energy to function. A lack of adequate insulin plays a key role in the development of diabetes.

Curcumin in turmeric improves insulin function and reduces resistance. It also protects pancreatic beta cells and lowers inflammation. Boosts glucose uptake by muscle cells and enhances insulin ...

Triple-negative breast cancer patients with obesity-driven diabetes often have worse outcomes. A new study by researchers ...

Researchers have discovered a novel approach to protecting insulin-producing beta cells from the damaging effects of glucolipotoxicity - a harmful condition linked to the progression of type 2 ...

Transplanting insulin-producing cells along with engineered blood-vessel ... showed significantly lower insulin production levels and insulin secretion was not responsive to administered glucose.

Investigating how the production of insulin is regulated in fruit flies reveals surprising insights that may help to better understand how this process unfolds in humans.

The removal of macrophages reveals their key role in hormone secretion: When the immune cells are removed, the hormone secretion decreases. Macrophages have mostly been thought of as immune ...
