Insulin resistance has a molecular fingerprint, and scientists have just cracked it. In a groundbreaking study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen found that each person’s body responds to ...

Insulin resistance is concomitant with type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and other features of the metabolic syndrome. Because insulin resistance is associated with cardiovascular disease, both ...

An insulin that switches itself on and off in response to blood glucose levels has proven successful in lowering the risk of dangerously low glucose levels, or hypos, in animals. According to ...

A new study focuses on the insulin receptor to understand its role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disease with a major impact on global health. Insulin resistance precedes ...

Researchers revealed that the microbial metabolite TMA can directly block the immune protein IRAK4, reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity. The molecule counteracts damage caused by ...

So-called 'smart' insulin took a step nearer to becoming a reality with a new study from Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the Czech Republic. Researchers reported in Nature that animal tests with an ...

Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a hidden molecular "control switch" inside a protein that helps the body ...

A small molecule made by gut microbes is rapidly emerging as one of the most intriguing new levers for controlling blood sugar and inflammation, hinting at a future in which diabetes care starts in ...
