How does the body regulate the activity of insulin-producing cells in order to react quickly to changing conditions? Researchers have investigated this question.

The hormone insulin plays a central role in the metabolism of many living organisms. When food is plentiful, insulin promotes ...

When they supplemented these lipids in the flies’ diet, they observed an increase in the release of insulin-like peptide in the brains. The finding that a lipase can detect local information, travel ...
