A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 1, 2025, titled "Oxytocin modulates insulin and GLP-1 secretion in pancreatic islets." In this study, scientists from ...

Researchers at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center have identified a previously underappreciated role for tiny ...

For decades, type 2 diabetes was managed with medicines that either pushed insulin higher or improved how the body used it.

Researchers have identified 395 genes that are differently expressed in people with type 2 diabetes. One of the genes proved to be very strongly associated with impaired insulin secretion. Now, ...

Researchers have discovered increased levels of of a microRNA in type 2 diabetes, which has a negative effect on insulin secretion. Their experiments on human insulin producing cells in the pancreas ...

Tirzepatide, a drug approved for diabetes and on the fast track for approval as a weight loss therapy, works through a unique ability to activate two different mechanisms the body uses to control ...

Researchers at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center have identified an important role played by tiny structures inside ...

“Although the detailed mechanism for the stimulation of intra-islet GLP-1 secretion remains to be elucidated and further studies are required, as far as we know, our present study is the first to ...

How does the body regulate the activity of insulin-producing cells in order to react quickly to changing conditions? Researchers have investigated this question. The hormone insulin plays a central ...

Carbohydrate intake has long been known to affect blood sugar levels, resulting in insulin release by pancreatic cells more than other nutrients. Novel laboratory research now suggests that ...
