Researchers from the German Diabetes Center (DDZ) and the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have studied the temporal pattern of insulin action on protein kinases in human muscle cells in ...

Insulin orchestrates the disposal of circulating nutrients by promoting glucose uptake, lipid synthesis and protein anabolism in responsive tissues. In skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, insulin ...

Insulin resistance precedes and predicts the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), a chronic disease that causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In affected people, insulin is unable to ...

Overview of peripheral and central insulin actions (black arrows). The vast majority of insulin hormones are synthesized by the pancreas. Insulin crosses the blood‒brain barrier (BBB) to act within ...
