The discovery of insulin has saved the lives of millions of people with diabetes worldwide, but little is known about the first step of insulin synthesis. Researchers at the University of Michigan ...

It led us to a molecule that seems to be important in making insulin and that could very well shed light on the pathogenesis of diabetes, a common disease that affects about 10% of the U.S ...

Insulin treatment of prepubertal children with insulin-dependent diabetes improves body protein balance by decreasing the rate of protein degradation without stimulating protein synthesis. However ...

The inability of insulin to stimulate protein synthesis observed in the present study is consistent with a number of studies of whole-body (9,16) and muscle protein metabolism ...

New technology enables fast protein synthesis ... They also produced proinsulin, an insulin precursor with 86 amino acids, and an enzyme called lysozyme, which has 129 amino acids, ...

Meat may dominate the protein conversation, but plant-based options like tempeh could be your best bet for improving insulin sensitivity. The #1 Protein for Insulin Resistance, According to Health ...

At the center of their discovery is a protein called S100A9, which has been shown to reduce dangerous levels of ketones in the blood—without relying on insulin.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type J (PTPRJ) is a negative regulator of insulin signaling in neuronal cells, according to a new study, and appears to have a role in nervous system development.

Now, their latest study in PNAS shows that the protein C3 protects insulin-producing cells from damage and death when it is present inside the cells.

Some people produce more insulin in response to proteins and fats than carbs, new research has found. Suggesting that insulin production is more individualized than first believed, the findings ...
