The role of the kidney in blood glucose-level regulation was until recently underestimated. Renal gluconeogenesis, renal glucose uptake and tubular glucose reabsorption are the three ways of renal ...

In 2021, a research team led by Prof. Heiko Lickert from Helmholtz Munich discovered the insulin-inhibitory receptor "Inceptor" and its role as a suppressor of the insulin signaling pathway.

The diagram illustrates the RNAkine-mediated glucose metabolic regulatory network involving various secreted organs, including pancreas, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver, which have ...

Recent studies indicate that nutrient-sensing mechanisms in the body activate negative-feedback systems to regulate energy and glucose homeostasis through a neuronal network. Direct metabolic ...

Surrogate measures of insulin resistance, based on the triglyceride-glucose index, can be used to predict the development of ...

Olive oil bioactives, including MUFAs, polyphenols, and triterpenoids, modulate gene expression linked to insulin sensitivity ...

Physical activity is not only important for fitness but also for overall health. This is confirmed by a new study, which identified PanK4 as a key regulator of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle, ...

Veiga-Fernandes and colleagues reported on their findings in Science, in a paper titled “Neuronal-ILC2 interactions regulate pancreatic glucagon and glucose homeostasis.” In their report the ...

This series is all about homeostasis. You’re in luck because that means we’re covering everything from the nervous system and hormones to blood glucose levels and the menstrual cycle.
