Three ways of renal involvement in glucose homeostasis: glucose release from renal cortex via gluconeogenesis; glucose uptake and glycolysis from renal medulla for satisfying kidney energy needs ...

In 2021, a research team led by Prof. Heiko Lickert from Helmholtz Munich discovered the insulin-inhibitory receptor "Inceptor" and its role as a suppressor of the insulin signaling pathway.

The diagram illustrates the RNAkine-mediated glucose metabolic regulatory network involving various secreted organs, including pancreas, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver, which have ...

Surrogate measures of insulin resistance, based on the triglyceride-glucose index, can be used to predict the development of ...

Recent studies indicate that nutrient-sensing mechanisms in the body activate negative-feedback systems to regulate energy and glucose homeostasis through a neuronal network. Direct metabolic ...

A recently study published in Nutrients reports that the regular consumption of mangoes may improve inflammation, insulin ...

Physical activity is not only important for fitness but also for overall health. This is confirmed by a new study, which identified PanK4 as a key regulator of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle, ...

Olive oil bioactives, including MUFAs, polyphenols, and triterpenoids, modulate gene expression linked to insulin sensitivity ...

This series is all about homeostasis. You’re in luck because that means we’re covering everything from the nervous system and hormones to blood glucose levels and the menstrual cycle.

The role of the kidney in blood glucose-level regulation was until recently underestimated. Renal gluconeogenesis, renal glucose uptake and tubular glucose reabsorption are the three ways of renal ...
