McGill University researchers have identified a brain function that helps explain why childhood stress raises metabolic health risks for some women later in life.

An 8-hour time-restricted eating intervention did not improve insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion or beta-cell function in a small group of adults with overweight or obesity, according to data from ...

The discovery of insulin in the 1920s marked the breakthrough in the almost 3,500-year-long mystery of diabetes, a disease first described in ancient Egyptian papyruses. Until its discovery, ...

Taking 5,000 IU of vitamin D per day may improve insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function for those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, according to findings published in the European Journal of ...

Insulin triggers genome-wide changes in gene expression via an unexpected mechanism. The insulin receptor is transported from the cell surface to the cell nucleus, where it helps initiate the ...

Inhaled Technosphere insulin (TI) failed to meet noninferiority for HbA1c vs subcutaneous rapid-acting analog (RAA) insulin in youth.

Therapeutic effects were sustained off treatment, with persistent reduction in HbA1c and improvement in beta-cell function 3 months after last dose, suggesting disease-modifying potential of ...

Drunken fruit flies have led to the discovery that insulin may determine susceptibility to alcohol. If confirmed in humans -- and the two species share about two-thirds of their genes -- the finding ...
