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 ...

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 ...

The common forms of type 2 diabetes are caused by a constellation of genetic and epigenetic factors and molecular changes related to diet; lifestyle, including lack of exercise and sleep; ...

Learn how improving insulin sensitivity can help treat chronic conditions like metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension, and more.

Research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience has identified a mechanism through which insulin-like growth factors facilitate brain plasticity. The insulin superfamily of hormones, ...

Insulin resistance precedes and predicts the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), a chronic disease that causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In affected people, insulin is unable to ...

In a step that could change the lives of millions of diabetes patients, researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine in the United States have successfully designed a hybrid molecule ...

Experiments on post-mortem brain tissues from 60 deceased patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and an AD animal model indicate that defects in insulin receptors at the blood–brain barrier contribute ...

Taken together, our experimental paradigm in endothelial cells and VSMCs indicates that under normal conditions insulin is antiatherogenic. In endothelial cells, insulin stimulates NO production and ...
