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 ...

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 ...

The research sheds new light on how this enzyme influences glucagon secretion in pancreatic alpha (α) cells, a process crucial for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. The research ...

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 ...

Several years ago, a little-known drug named Ozempic — previously used only to treat diabetes — emerged as a promising new ...

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

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 ...

A study on GLP1RA medications found that behavioral side effects likely do not result from direct action on GLP1R.

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 ...
