Gluconeogenesis is a fundamental feature of hepatocytes. Whether this gluconeogenic activity is also present in malignant hepatocytes remains unexplored. A better understanding of this biological ...

While not traditionally discussed, the kidneys’ contributions to maintaining glucose homeostasis are significant and include such functions as release of glucose into the circulation via ...

The results of a recent study provide insights into the mechanism by which estrogen can decrease insulin resistance and the production of glucose, reducing incidences of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The ...

Pyruvate dictates redox balance and cell size, establishing metabolism as a dominant regulator of cellular fitness, unveiling new strategies to modulate cancer, regeneration, and diabetes.

Glucagon increases the production of glucose by increasing glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver, and by reducing glycogenesis and glycolysis. The release of glucagon in response to food ...

Performing high intensity exercise on a low-carb diet can lead to various negative consequences. These include "exercise flu," limited performance, and muscle loss through gluconeogenesis. This is ...

Insulin and glucagon help maintain blood sugar levels. Glucagon helps prevent blood sugar from dropping, while insulin stops it from rising too high. Insulin and glucagon work together in a balance ...
