Researchers have produced a comprehensive picture of insulin signaling in mice and suggest that it is shaped by entangled effects of genetics and diet. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...

Three years ago, the inceptor protein was discovered and its role as an inhibitor of the insulin signaling pathway was described. Inceptor and the insulin receptor are located on the surface of beta ...

Neurons like it tidy. Brain cells called glia help neurons perform at their best by cleaning up toxic cellular debris. But a diet high in sugar makes glia insulin resistant — which turns them into ...

A study conducted at Harvard University identified a group of metabolites that travel from the intestine to the liver and ...

Emerging research highlights vitamin D as a potential, overlooked factor in insulin resistance, a precursor to Type 2 ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the specific destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells.
