Insulin resistance is concomitant with type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and other features of the metabolic syndrome. Because insulin resistance is associated with cardiovascular disease, both ...

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 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 ...

Insulin is one of the most potent and pleiotropic hormones in the body, regulating a myriad of physiological processes. However, perhaps none is best studied as its role in regulating glucose ...

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

A newly discovered mechanism that leads to liver dysfunction may be a key factor in type 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders in individuals with obesity, according to a new study led by Harvard T ...

Research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience has identified a mechanism through which insulin-like growth factors facilitate brain plasticity. The insulin superfamily of hormones, ...

Insulin under normal circumstances exerts its antiatherogenic action in endothelial cells and VSMCs via the PI 3-kinase signaling pathway. Antiatherogenic aspects of insulin action include stimulation ...
