How does the body regulate the activity of insulin-producing cells in order to react quickly to changing conditions? Researchers have investigated this question.

Incretin hormones are released by the gastrointestinal tract in response to food ingestion to enhance insulin secretion and aid in the maintenance of glucose metabolism. [9] Glucagon-like peptide ...

Eli Lilly has invested heavily into obesity, dominating the landscape—alongside semaglutide maker Novo Nordisk—with its ...

New entrants: incretin-based therapies Incretins are peptide hormones that stimulate insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon secretion and promote satiety after nutrient ingestion. The short-lived ...

JMU scientists studied insulin-producing cells in fruit flies, finding that secretion is influenced by gut hormones, ...

The hormone insulin plays a central role in the metabolism of many living organisms. When food is plentiful, insulin promotes ...

Research has shed light on the intricate mechanisms of insulin production in fruit flies, revealing surprising parallels with ...

A greater improvement in insulin sensitivity during glucose infusion was also noted acutely after RYGB but not after gastric restrictive procedures. The incretin effect is characterized by robust ...
