This study highlights a novel mechanism of gut-to-brain communication crucial for lipid metabolism. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers identify an endogenous insulin ...
Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have succeeded in showing, in an animal model, that the process of insulin resistance in the brain affects both Alzheimer’s disease and ...
A 5-day high-caloric diet triggered liver fat accumulation and disrupted brain insulin action in men with a healthy body weight, with effects persisting even after resuming a normal diet. Researchers ...
A clinical trial from Wake Forest University School of Medicine shows that two widely available medications, the diabetes drug empagliflozin (Jardiance) and intranasal insulin, safely improve brain ...
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 ...
For more than a hundred years, insulin has been the key to controlling type 1 diabetes. It has saved lives by preventing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening condition that happens when the ...
