Some dietary supplements may help naturally boost GLP-1, but more research is needed to better understand their potential ...

Research has shown that dopamine (DA) plays a key role in how the body regulates the production of insulin. Typically, insulin is secreted by beta-cells in the pancreas in response to glucose—a ...

Diabetes is a lifelong, chronic health condition caused by abnormalities in the body’s production and use of the hormone insulin. Research has shown that the feel-good hormone, dopamine (DA), plays a ...

In type 2 diabetes, the body's ability to release insulin is impaired, which leads to high blood glucose levels. Research led ...

A new study suggests that one of the most common diabetes treatments may speed type 2 diabetes progression by causing insulin-producing cells to lose their functional identity. Sulphonylureas have bee ...

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 ...

The gut–islets axis connects nutrient sensing in the intestine with insulin secretion from the pancreas and plays an essential role in glucose regulation. GLP-1 released by intestinal L cells can ...

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 ...

Insulin glargine (Lantus ®, sanofi-aventis) claims to have a 24-hour duration of action. Is there any advantage to using it twice daily? If so, what patient population might benefit from twice-daily ...

When lipid biologist Usha Acharya at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) tinkered with lipid breakdown pathways in Drosophila melanogaster, she observed something intriguing. Blocking a biochemical ...
