Poor prenatal nutrition permanently damages function of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas

Scientists at Joslin Diabetes Center have discovered one reason why infants with low birth weight have a high potential of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. In studies of mice, the researchers found that poor prenatal nutrition impairs the pancreas's ability to later secrete enough insulin in response to blood glucose. "The bottom line is that if you don't have delivery of enough...

PCRM develops world's first cruelty-free insulin assay

If you're an organization dedicated to humane alternatives to the use of animals in research and you want to conduct research of your own that requires using animals as part of the testing, what do you do? In the case of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, you invent your own test. PCRM president Neal Barnard, M.D., announced today that PCRM has developed the world's first...

Stem cells from brain transformed to produce insulin at Stanford

With careful coaxing, stem cells from the brain can form insulin-producing cells that mimic those missing in people with diabetes, according to a paper published in the April 26 issue of PLoS Medicine. Although the work is not yet ready for human patients, Seung Kim, MD, PhD, the lead author and assistant professor of developmental biology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, sai...

NIH Researchers Discover How Insulin Allows Entry of Glucose Into Cells

Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have discovered the critical sequence of events by which insulin stimulates the entry of glucose into fat cells. The study, appearing in the May 9 Journal of Cell Biology, was conducted by researchers from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases....

Mouse with designer liver has enhanced glucose tolerance, insulin response

A collaborative effort led by The Burnham Institute's Gen-Sheng Feng has created a mouse with improved glucose tolerance and insulin activity in the liver, and generated new findings about insulin-signaling in the liver that could prove useful in understanding the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. These results, to be published by Nature Medicine in May, were made available to the scientific commu...

Purification of Insulin on UNO S1 Column, Rev A

Insulin is a peptide hormone which stimulates anabolic reactions for carbohydrates, proteins, and fats resulting in lowered blood glucose. It is used therapeutically for treatment of diabetes mellitus and was the first recombinant protein on the market. Although insulin is well characterized and understood, it is often difficu...

Link between birth weight and Insulin Resistance

According to researchers in England, a baby's birth weight is connected to the mother's insulin resistance in late adulthood. The study also shows women with the lightest and heaviest offspring had the highest risk of developing diabetes.// More than 4,100 women ages between 62 and 75 years participated in the study. Researchers found, as birth weight increased every 2.2 lbs, women had...

Insulin Resistance Linked To Difference In Gender

Type 2 diabetes used to be considered an adult disease, but now more children are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.// Research has shown girls are affected more than boys. Now, a new study shows sex-linked genes may explain this difference between girls and boys being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Researchers in the United Kingdom are conducting a study which aims to establish whi...

Iso-Insulin EIA Diabetes and Obesity Markers 008-10-1128-01

Description:Insulin is the principal hormone responsible for the control of glucose metabolism. It is synthesized in the b-cells of the islets of Langerhans as the precursor, proinsulin, which is processed to form C-peptide and insulin. Both are secreted in equimolar amounts into the portal circulation. The mature insulin molecule is comprised of two polypeptide chains, the A-chain and B-chain (21 and 30...
