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...

Regenerating worms help elucidate stem cell biology

Using a tiny flatworm best known for its extraordinary ability to regenerate lost tissue, researchers have identified a gene that controls the ability of stem cells to differentiate into specialized cells. The gene encodes a protein that is most similar to the protein PIWI, an important regulator of stem cells in organisms ranging from plants to humans. The replacement of tissue lost to i...

Treatment For Sleep Apnea Found To Lower Blood Glucose Levels

Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where a person's breathing stops or becomes irregular during sleep as a result of // a collapsed airway. This can result in a number of serious health effects. Previous research shows people with sleep apnea are nine-times more likely to have diabetes than those without the sleep disorder. Based on findings of a recent study researchers say pat...

Health benefits of soy and soy products have been a...

Lower risk of cardiovascular disease from tight glucose control

Research has proved that tight glucose control can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in people// with diabetes type 1. Keeping a tight glucose control on the blood sugar levels mean that for patients with diabetes is to keep their blood sugar as close to the normal levels as possible. Conventionally this can be achieved by regular testing for blood glucose levels, following a di...

Maintaining a Pharma index could help track price fluctuations
