Salk scientists have identified a molecule that is produced in fat tissue and which, like insulin, potently and rapidly regulates blood glucose. The finding, they suggest, could potentially lead to ...

The discovery of a hormone regulating blood glucose levels independently of insulin could lead to the development of new diabetes therapies and open up promising new avenues in metabolism research, ...

Insulin has been the primary way of treating diabetes and other high blood sugar conditions for nearly a century. Now, researchers say a molecule made in fat tissue could pave the way for new diabetes ...

In a recent review published in Advances in Food and Nutrition Research, researchers assessed the function of lipids in metabolic diseases. Lipids play an essential role in the proper functioning of ...

Neurons in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus that express the cholecystokinin b receptor (VMH Cckbr neurons) appear to support glucose production during hypoglycemia without broadly ...
