Insulin is one of the most commonly used therapeutic agents used in diabetes. While the structure of this complex protein has been studied in detail there were parts of the receptor for insulin that ...

Scientists have determined the structure of a previously unseen part of the insulin receptor, making possible new treatments for diabetes. Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have determined ...

Early insulin secretion following a meal is representative for normal physiology and may depend on meal composition. To compare the effects of a fat-rich and a carbohydrate-rich mixed meal on ...

Neuroscientists have demonstrated for the first time in living animals that insulin receptors in the brain can initiate signaling that regulates both the structure and function of neural circuits. The ...

Puberty is a so-called critical period for overweight development and is characterized by physiological insulin resistance during mid-puberty. This study addressed the hypothesis that habitual ...

New research presented at this year's annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) shows that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) combining cycling and rowing ...

Insulin sensitivity reflects how effectively cells respond to insulin’s signal to absorb glucose, and everyday eating habits ...

Meal composition along with carbohydrate count should be considered when calculating insulin dosages and may provide a foundation for new insulin-dosing algorithms for meals of varying macronutrient ...

The price of insulin continues to rise. But before jumping on du jour soundbites, knowing its history may help explain why our first wonder drug is now a chimeric poster child for the best and worse ...
