Plasma immunoreactive insulin and glucose levels were studied in infants undergoing deep hypothermic cardiovascular surgery. In six receiving glucose infusions, marked hyperglycemia developed when ...

Daily injections of insulin are a hassle for the hundreds of millions of people with diabetes. An oral pill would be much easier to swallow (pun intended), and now researchers from New York University ...

Researchers found that insulin release upon seeing or smelling appetizing food depends on a short-term inflammatory response. The corresponding study was published in Cell Metabolism. It has been ...

Cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR) denotes an early neuroendocrine response whereby sensory cues associated with food—most notably taste—prime the body for nutrient assimilation. As food stimulus ...

Insulin which is released by pancreatic beta-cells is the main regulator of blood sugar. Previous and current studies by a research group at Lund University in Sweden have identified around hundred ...

Diabetes is a condition in which the body produces too little or no insulin. Diabetics thus depend on an external supply of this hormone via injection or pump. Researchers led by Martin Fussenegger ...

The study, published in Cell Metabolism, found that exposure to natural light — even indoors next to a window — changes how the body processes glucose and uses energy.

Various factors determine the best time to take your blood sugar medications, including how the medication works and its side effects.

Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that regulates release of insulin, a hormone that lowers blood glucose levels, from the beta cells of the pancreas. This mechanism is ...

Researchers are pursuing various solutions for administering insulin to those with Diabetes. One such solution is to enclose insulin-producing designer cells in capsules that can be implanted in the ...
