UC Davis chemist Marie Heffern is pioneering a new field, metalloendocrinology, exploring how metals such as iron, zinc and copper influence hormones. (Gregory Urquiaga/UC Davis) Metals such as zinc, ...

Researchers have answered a 100-year-old question in diabetes research: can a molecule different to insulin have the same effect? The findings provide important insights for the future development of ...

Hormones coordinate different body functions by carrying messages through the bloodstream to target cells and tissues. Hormonal imbalances occur through inadequate or excess hormone synthesis, which ...

In the sophisticated world of endocrinology and molecular biology, few compounds have sparked as much curiosity as CJC-1295 DAC. As a synthetic analog of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH), this ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is now the most common chronic liver disease in the Western world, driven by obesity, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation.

Metals such as zinc, copper and chromium bind to and influence a peptide involved in insulin production, according to new work from chemists at the University of California, Davis. The research is ...
