Researchers have identified a hormone produced and secreted by the liver as a previously unknown cause of insulin resistance. The findings suggest a new target for the treatment of insulin resistance ...

Researchers have found protective, anti-diabetic functions for a hormone that, like insulin, is produced by the islet cells of the pancreas. The new hormone was found to stimulate insulin secretion ...

Adrenomedullin disrupts insulin signaling in blood vessels, leading to systemic insulin resistance in obesity-associated type 2 diabetes, according to a new study by a team at the Max Planck Institute ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 83, No. 22 (Nov. 15, 1986), pp. 8570-8574 (5 pages) Since we observed that after purification the receptor kinase ...

Insulin has been the primary way of treating diabetes and other high blood sugar conditions for nearly a century. Now, researchers say a molecule made in fat tissue could pave the way for new diabetes ...

A new study uncovers how endothelial cells contribute to insulin resistance in obesity-associated diabetes, highlighting adrenomedullin as a potential therapeutic target. Study: Endothelial insulin ...

This presentation is confined to a discussion of the binding of insulin to specific insulin receptors on isolated preparations of purified plasma membranes from rodent livers. The system has been ...

From human development to certain diseases developing, hormones can affect the body in several ways. “Hormones are chemical messengers that are normally created in one part of the body and go to ...
