This paper to be published in Science reveals a surprising new role for immune cells in regulating blood sugar. Key Findings: Immune cells migrate from the intestine to the pancreas during periods of ...

The liver and pancreas are the main actors in glucose metabolism, but not the only ones. Muscles, adipose tissue and the brain play different roles. However, the prize for the best new actor in ...

On the other hand, when your blood sugar levels drop too low, your pancreas releases the hormone glucagon, which raises your ...

The endocrine cells release insulin and glucagon, two hormones that help regulate blood sugar in the body. Despite the pancreas being responsible for multiple functions, there are circumstances in ...

An observational study has uncovered a possible link between taking GLP-1s and increased risk of kidney, pancreas and gut ...

By uncovering how G6PC2 regulates glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cells, in addition to its established role in regulating insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, the research points ...

Tirzepatide does not yield a significant increase in pancreatitis risk despite elevating pancreatic enzyme levels, according to study findings published in Obesity Science and Practice. Tirzepatide, a ...

Veiga-Fernandes and colleagues reported on their findings in Science, in a paper titled “Neuronal-ILC2 interactions regulate pancreatic glucagon and glucose homeostasis.” In their report the ...

Traditionally, blood sugar regulation has been attributed to the hormones insulin and glucagon, both produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers blood glucose by promoting its uptake into cells ...
